  • I would rather find ways to encourage people to eat foods that are natural sources of magnesium. They provide lots of other dietary benefits beyond just magnesium.

    • Soy products (milk, flour, tofu)

    • Legumes and seeds

    • Nuts (almonds, cashews, Brazil nuts)

    • Peanuts and peanut butter

    • Whole grain breads and cereals (brown rice, millet)

    • Fruit (bananas, dried apricots, etc.)

    • Vegetables, particularly dark green, leafy vegetables (artichokes, chard, beet greens, avocados, etc.)

    • Dried beans (lima, black-eyed peas, navy)

    Soy sauce

    Idk the exact proportions. Just wing it. With a bit of experience you’ll get it dialed in to suit your taste.

    Marinate anywhere from 2 hours to overnight. Longer time = stronger flavor. Cook the chicken on the grill if you have one. Otherwise, bake it in the oven.

    If the team is going out to lunch to celebrate a special occasion, then a single drink has always been fine in the teams I worked with. I don’t partake anymore because it makes me really sleepy in the afternoon.

    I worked at one company that hosted a weekly happy hour. I was one of the employees who took turns setting up the kegs in the common room, and pouring drinks during the event. That was a fun place. The extra social time really improved some working relationships. And we got a surprising amount of productive work done just by talking for an hour or two while standing around sipping microbrews and wine.
