Alongside spinach, cashews and almonds are some of the best sources of magnesium in the human diet. The fact they are convenient, low carb and delicious is just a bonus.
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of bodily processes, including blood sugar regulation.
The mechanism of action is unclear, but low magnesium levels is strongly associated with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It seems to influence insulin secretion, which may be why so many diabetics have low magnesium.
Additionally, clinical trials have shown that correcting low magnesium improves insulin response and lowers blood sugar levels.
