Mom always says, "Eat your greens." But if you're a freak like us, shoveling bland leaves down your gullet makes you want to gag. But fear not – your mother's intentions were pure, if a touch tedious. It's all about magnesium, baby!

Why magnesium? It puts the "fun" in "fundamental to bodily functions." It's all about pumping up your heart and muscles and pumping out the BS about dieting - chew on that, fashion fitness!
