Magnesium in Infectious Diseases in Older People (2021)
https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/13/1/180
"Reduced magnesium (Mg) intake is a frequent cause of deficiency with age together with ... polypharmacotherapy. Chronic Mg deficiency ... may be linked to several age-related diseases, including higher predisposition to infectious diseases. ... The functional importance of Mg transport in immunity was unknown until the description of the primary immunodeficiency ... characterized by chronic Epstein–Barr virus infection. This and other research reporting associations of Mg deficit with viral and bacterial infections indicate a possible role of Mg deficit in the recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its complications."
For an extra dietary magnesium boost, try adding 1/4c of mixed nuts and seeds to your routine as a snack, salad topping, etc:
2 parts pumpkin seeds, and
1 part each of sunflower seeds, almonds, cashews, peanuts.
That particular blend and that 1/4c serving size would add about 120mg of magnesium to your daily intake.
