What foods are good sources of magnesium?

Dr. Michael Roizen answered:Magnesium is found largely in whole grain breads and cereals. Breads made with refined flours unfortunately have very little magnesium, as most of the mineral is lost during the refining process. Most fortified and whole grain cereals contain 100 to 200 milligrams (mg) per bowl. Soybeans and lima beans contain 100 mg per serving, and most nuts contain 100 to 300 mg per serving. Such fruits and vegetables as avocados, bananas, beets, raisins, and dates are also good sources of magnesium.Magnesium is found largely in whole grain breads and cereals.
