Sicken and tire of health gurus shoving magnesium pills down your throat? Let's cut the BS and talk about how you can actually start enjoying your daily dose of magnesium from real foods instead.

First things first, let's have a little chit-chat about magnesium. This underdog of minerals is a true workhorse when it comes to keeping us humans alive. It's in charge of things like blood pressure regulation, nerve function, and bone health. And guess what? It's lurking around some truly delicious food.

Fear not, "EatKaleOrDieTrying" is standing by to lead your taste buds on a culinary tour de magnesium.

In the greens corner, we have spinach, Swiss chard, and – here's a spoiler for you – kale! One cup of cooked spinach is oozing with 157 mg of magnesium. Even when eaten raw, it hands you a delicious 24mg of magnesium you actually need every day. Another contender, Swiss chard, stands tall with 150mg of magnesium in one cup of cooked greenness. As for kale, it's not just a fancy leaf you dump on your salad to impress your Instagram followers. A cup of it bestows you with a royal 5 mg of your daily magnesium.

Next up, the fruit section. Stand up and applaud for avocados, bananas, and apples. Any fitness junkie would swear by avocados, and with 43.6 mg of magnesium in one cup, they're definitely worth the hype. Slice a banana into your bowl of cereal, and you’ll get about 40 mg of magnesium, not to mention a good dose of hydration from potassium. Meanwhile, a simple, unpretentious apple keeps everything juicy with 9 mg of magnesium.

In this fun trip of "eat this, not that," we've also stumbled upon edamame (young soybeans). Beyond their role as the star of your favorite sushi restaurant, these little green bullets blasted with 99 mg of magnesium per cup of cooked edamame.

Now, for the veggies aficionados. You'll love artichokes and peas, both laden with magnesium (71.4 mg and 62.4 mg respectively with one serving). And for the sweet tooth among us, acorn squash is not just good for your Insta feed. It's loaded with 88 mg of magnesium per cup.

Before you go wild in the fruit and vegetable aisle, remember to check with a healthcare provider. Yes, even when it comes to healthy foods, it's crucial to understand your body's own needs. Because, let’s be real, you're here to Eat Kale Or Die Trying, not Eat Kale And Actually Die Trying.
