Good Source of Magnesium

Dragon fruit contains more magnesium than other fruits, providing 18% of your RDI in only one cup. Your body has around one ounce of magnesium or 24g. Despite its seeming little amount, the mineral is present in all of your cells and participates in over 600 key chemical events in your body.

It participates in events such as the breakdown of food into energy, muscular contraction, bone production, and even DNA formation. More research is needed, although some evidence suggests that increasing magnesium consumption may lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. Additionally, studies demonstrate that magnesium-rich diets promote bone health.
