Professor Alexander Kazaks and Judith Stern (University of California at Davis) claim that the diet of overweight people is very low in magnesium. Kazaks said: 'Replacing foods low in magnesium with magnesium rich foods is a practical, inexpensive way to reduce the symptoms of asthma. It can also improve overall health '.

According to Stern, overweight and obese people with asthma have significantly lower magnesium levels than those with normal weight,

Magnesium is a cellular antioxidant commonly found in various foods such as wheat, cereals, dark green vegetables, beans and nuts .
