Magnesium is an essential mineral for the organism as it is involved in vital processes such as the activation of the muscular system, the assimilation of calcium and the correct functioning of organs as important as the brain. The lack of magnesium can manifest as fatigue, muscular weakness, cramps... A balanced diet should provide us with all the magnesium the body needs. However, currently, our diet can show deficiencies in this mineral mainly due to the fact that we ingest too much animal protein and refined foods, and few vegetable products such as vegetables, pulses and dried fruits.

Eating quickly and eating ready-to-go foods have substituted the elaboration of many traditional dishes that, for years, have provided our organism with some of the nutrients that we lack nowadays.
