Magnesium supplementation could possible save your life. People who consume the highest magnesium levels have remarkably lower incidence of coronary heart disease, stroke and Type 2 diabetes according to a recent study. Many studies over several decades came to the conclusion that low magnesium levels were the cause of arterial diseases. Sadly, scientists in the medical profession ignored these studies and focused on cholesterol and high saturated fat diets as the main cause. Studies show that when calcium and magnesium aren’t taken on an even level of at least 1 to 1, the risk of heart disease increases. The medical profession has focused on cholesterol as the main problem and has prescribed statins for more than 20 years (despite health issues with this drug) and this tactic has not changed the fact that heart disease is the #1 killer in the United States.
Even more good news for heart health. A review of 884 randomized controlled trials with a total of 883,627 participants showed that folic acid, coenzyme Q10 and omega 3 fatty acids could reduce heart disease mortality, heart attack and coronary heart disease events. In addition, these 3 supplements also reduced the risk of age-related cognitive decline and major depressive disorder. In addition to eat wholesome foods and taking supplements, other heart protection tactics include: getting enough exercise, adequate amount of sleep, taking care of your gums (yes, there is a relationship), doing breathing exercises and using a sauna.
