As makhana is abundant in magnesium, it improves oxygen and blood flow in the body significantly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It also helps in the proper flow of other nutrients in the body. If you have low magnesium levels, your body becomes more susceptible to heart disease and hence regular consumption of a handful of makhanas daily can dramatically reduce the risk of coronary heart diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like every other food, even makhana needs to be consumed in moderation.
