Magnesium is important for building and maintaining healthy bones and for keeping our blood circulating. It is also helpful for relaxing our nerves and our muscles. Be sure that you are getting enough magnesium in your diet by eating plenty of organic leafy green vegetables like Swiss chard, kale, collard greens, and spinach.

Eat an orange! Who doesn't love biting into these juicy citrus fruits. Not only are oranges an amazing source of vitamin C but they contain vitamin E, K, beta-carotene and folate. They are also great sources of heart-healthy magnesium and immune-boosting zinc.

Almonds are a great source of immunity-boosting antioxidants and monounsaturated fats for a healthy heart. They are also a great source of vitamin E, magnesium, tryptophan, and copper. Try adding almonds to your breakfast smoothies or include chopped almonds to your morning cereal.

Figs are amazing sources of dietary fiber, making figs a great food for weight management (fiber makes you feel full and prevents you from overeating). Figs are also a great source of heart-healthy potassium and manganese. They contain lutein and zeaxanthin to help protect your eyes and improve your vision.
