essential mineral that the body needs for more than 300 different processes and reactions, such as<\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Muscle and

aria-level=\"1\" class=\"translation-block\">There are also no guidelines from cancer organizations recommending the use of magnesium supplements specifically for cancer prevention.<\/li><\/ul><h2><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\"><b>Why is magnesium from food considered better?<\/b><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because people who get magnesium from their diet tend to have healthy lifestyle habits as well, such as<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eating vegetables, fruits, and whole grains<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chgcancercenter.com\/en\/exercise-effectively-lower-cancer-risk\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:
