The MOST Neglected Nutrient By Doctors
20 Oct 2024
Discover the importance of the most neglected nutrient: magnesium! Magnesium can aid in heart attack prevention, support heart health, and improve your overall well-being. Learn more about magnesium deficiency symptoms and why magnesium is vital for cardiovascular health. DATA: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/... Today I want to share some lesser-known heart health tips and how magnesium may help lower heart attack risk. Common heart problems such as plaquing, blood clots, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension are all related to magnesium deficiency. Testing for magnesium deficiency is almost impossible because only 1% is in the blood. The majority of magnesium is inside the cells. Heart medications such as calcium channel blockers, beta-blockers, Warfarin, and medications used to treat high blood pressure work using mechanisms similar to magnesium. Magnesium acts as a natural calcium channel blocker and helps regulate calcium, lower blood pressure, lower adrenaline, and relax the muscles. People deficient in magnesium often feel tired, especially after exercise. They may also experience migraine headaches. Without enough magnesium, vitamin D cannot work. Alcohol, refined sugar, starches, genetics, stress, low stomach acid, drugs, and antibiotics can interfere with the absorption of magnesium. Consuming ultra-processed foods increases your demand for magnesium and could cause you to become deficient. Many sources of magnesium, like spinach, almonds, and chocolate, are high in oxalates. Magnesium glycinate is a great choice for people looking to get more magnesium.
