I’ve talked about magnesium and the benefits of magnesium in other videos, but now I want to cover which foods are high in magnesium and are also keto-friendly.

 • Men need about 420mg of magnesium per day 

 • Women need about 320mg of magnesium per day 


Magnesium-rich foods that aren’t keto-friendly:

 • Fruit

 • Grains 

 • Potato

 • Beans 

 • Legumes 

 • Tofu (if you’re vegan and doing keto, some organic tofu may be fine)


Keto-friendly magnesium-rich foods:

 • Pumpkin seeds 

 • Spinach 

 • Almonds 

 • Salmon 

 • Chocolate 

 • Avocado 

 • Chard 

 • Cashews

Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So I've been talking about the importance of magnesium in other videos, but I wanted to create a video on what foods are high in magnesium that are also keto-friendly. So men need about

0:55.8

420 milligrams of magnesium every single day. Women are a little less 320 milligrams of magnesium every single day.

1:05.0

And there's quite a few foods that have a good amount of magnesium that are not keto-friendly,

1:10.0

so we're not going to recommend it like fruit grain potato beans legumes and even

1:17.0

tofu but I will say that if you are vegan and you're trying to do kido some tofu

1:47.8

like it too much. Let's go with number one. Pumpkin seeds have a tremendous amount of magnesium, 150 milligrams per ounce.

1:57.0

That's three tablespoons.

1:59.6

All right, number two, spinach at 157 milligrams per cup. Now if you're a female you need

2:07.9

320 milligrams so you could see that two cups of spinach will easily give you that requirement.

2:16.9

Okay and then we have almonds at 80 milligrams per ounce. So in salmon has about 53 milligrams and if you wanted a
