A shortage of copper or magnesium in the diet may affect human behavior, according to scientists with USDA. The scientists say laboratory rats that didn’t eat enough of these essential minerals were hyperactive and had either learning or memory deficiencies.
Magnesium is found in a wide range of plant and animal foods, including nuts, whole grains, green leafy vegetables, meat, fish and poultry and dried fruit. The richest source of copper is oysters.
Earlier experiments showed copper and magnesium has important roles in brain function. Copper-deficient rats were slower to learn, and the magnesium-deficient animals had more difficulty remembering than their counterparts who got adequate doses of these minerals. Physical activity and good nutrition are key factors in leading a healthy lifestyle and reducing chronic illnesses.
