Many housewives know that the natural food source, rich in magnesium and easily found in Vietnamese people's daily meals is amaranth.
100g of cooked amaranth will provide about 5570mg of magnesium, accounting for nearly 20% of the daily requirement for adults. Magnesium is involved in more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including nerve regulation and signal transmission in the brain.
In particular, magnesium helps activate neurotransmitters that have the effect of calming the central nervous system, thereby helping the body relax, easily falling into deeper and more stable sleep.
Research shows that older adults who are supplemented with magnesium daily significantly improve sleep time, sleep quality and reduce insomnia. This reinforces the important role of magnesium in improving sleep, especially in people with prolonged sleep disorders.
Amaranth is not only rich in magnesium but also contains fiber, iron and vitamin C - which help improve overall health.
The best way to absorb magnesium from amaranth is to boil or cook soup, avoid frying too much, causing micronutrient loss. Binh Aloe vera should also be combined with foods rich in vitamin B6 such as bananas and sunflower seeds to support more effective magnesium absorption.
Supplementing magnesium from amaranth is a natural, safe and effective method to improve sleep. This is a nutritional choice suitable for all ages, especially for people who are often sleep deprived or have neurological stress.
