kolAnyone have experience with magnesium deficiencies? Mum's convinced* that's causing my recent non-allergies health issues, and after a short googlefu & nutritional information hunting, I discovered I only ingest between 3-20% of the daily intake**. Further Kol Dietary Fail.
Even if I don't have a magnesium deficiency I need to get that level up so I don't have problems in the future. And since March is unofficially Operation Defatting By Full-Scale Diet Attack, I am implementing Project: Eat More Magnesium & Protein Rich Foods and am throwing up this entry to suggestions on how to inject both into my diet (yay recipe times!).
Three things to note: I'm on a budget, cooking is limited to Toaster Oven/Microwave/Electric Skillet/Crock Pot, and I have a lot of really lame food sensitivities.*** I love cooking experiments, though, and if you guys challenge me I promise to post results! Remember the edible shepherd's pot pie made using only the microwave? XD
*Mum's had magnesium deficiency issues since she was diagnosed with MS in '83 and we have similar diets. Not a good sign XD. She also worked as Grandfather Leonard's assistant for 15+ years, so she tends to know what she's talking about re: minor health issues. I'd ask my step mom, the former nurse, but she'd just yell at me for not eating enough broccoli XD.
**there is some confusion about the amount of magnesium in regular, medium sized brown potatoes. The package says each large potato only has 6%, but online lists anywhere from 10-26%. Make up your mind, nutritional sources! o.0;;
***Non-peanut nuts and tofu are out, and sometimes brown rice and soy create awkward digestive issues so I tend to avoid them unless I have no choice (or Chai Latte time <33). I'm also off dairy until my cough subsides. See, I told you, nothing but lame food sensitives!*__*
As for last night-- I got a really bad headache at my mums and crashed as soon as I got home. Didn't really have a headache at work, but on the way home one started in along with minor fatigue. Cooked a potato and downed multivitamin and right now, I feel better. Strongly suspect allergies (forgot a Claritin dose XD) and lack of beneficial nutrition were to blame for the headache.
Neve progress will resume after I get back from the gym tonight-- mum's internet was down during my visit yesterday, so I didn't get to do any work. FAIL. Thankfully I'm just fixing stupid Kol errors and it isn't anything too major for tonight. Except for the last attack which I forgot what I had in mind for. OOPS. Time for AIM log hunting! XD
