|
00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn about:
|
00:09 | Benefits of magnesium,
|
00:11 | Vegetarian sources of magnesium
|
00:13 | and Magnesium rich vegetarian recipes.
|
00:18 | Magnesium is a mineral which is an essential nutrient required by the body.
|
00:24 | It is among the Type 2 nutrients which has been explained in an another tutorial.
|
00:31 | Please visit our website for this tutorial.
|
00:35 | Magnesium is required for healthy bones and teeth as well.

|
00:44 | and DNA synthesis.
|
00:47 | The importance of magnesium has been explained in another tutorial.

00:52 | Magnesium is present in
|
00:54 | beans,
nuts,
|
00:56 | seeds,
leafy vegetables
|
00:59 | and grains.
|
01:01 | Intake of magnesium and its absorption in the body both are equally important.
|
01:08 | Fermentation,
roasting,
|
01:10 | germination
and cooking improves the absorption.
|
