Micronutrients & recovery

In overweight and obese adults, lower serum magnesium levels are significantly associated with higher fasting blood glucose levels, independent of energy and macronutrient intake.

If you are overweight or obese, maintaining adequate magnesium levels may help manage fasting blood glucose. While this study did not test supplementation, it highlights that lower magnesium levels within the normal range are linked to higher glucose. Focus on magnesium-rich foods (nuts, seeds, leafy greens) as part of a healthy diet.
