I think that magnesium nutrition, not drugs, should be a treatment option. Of course, some people need drugs; those who have severe symptoms. But  there is a whole population of people that don't need a sledge hammer. In my experience, mild to moderate cases of hypertension, elevated  cholesterol and high blood sugar are lifestyle conditions that are not being addressed by drug intervention. In fact, the opposite may be true. Let me explain.

Without minerals, vitamins are useless and magnesium is an important mineral for many body functions. It's critical for enzymatic reactions involved in energy production, assists with the uptake of calcium and potassium, helps with nerve transmission, and helps the body maintain a normal pH.

The heart is rich in magnesium and potassium because it needs the two nutrients to spark muscle contractions. A lack of magnesium and potassium in heart muscle can lead to arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat). Magnesium is one of nature’s greatest gifts because it helps the body detox harmful toxins.

It is not surprising that approximately 95,000 people per month search the internet by keying in “Attack Symptoms Heart” to find answers. Heart health expert Dr. Carolyn Dean talks about how you can improve your heart health, avoid heart attack and live a healthier life.

Magnesium may reduce blood pressure in people with high blood pressure, according to new findings. The study adds to data from epidemiological studies that have reported more magnesium, potassium and calcium may reduce your risk of hypertension.

Supplemental magnesium may reduce blood pressure in people with high blood pressure, but with seemingly normal magnesium levels, says a new study. On the other hand, the supplements had no effect on the blood pressure measurements of individuals with normal blood pressure, according to findings.

High blood pressure can shorten your life by causing heart attacks and strokes. Several recent reports show that you can lower high blood pressure just by changing your intake of the minerals in your diet.

According to noted author and researcher, Mildred S. Seelig, MD, “Most modern heart disease is caused by magnesium deficiency. A vast and convincing body of research, largely ignored, has convinced us and many of our colleagues of this fact.
