Magnesium deficiency is common in America and so is heart disease. A new study explains the essential nature of magnesium as a cardio-support nutrient.
Low magnesium results in all of the following adverse cardio issues:
1) Inflammation increases, including CRP (C reactive protein), as well as the core inflammation gene signal NF-kappaB.
2) The endothelial cells that line your arteries go into a stress state, leading to dysfunction of these vital cells that regulate your blood pressure.
3) Platelets begin to malfunction, meaning they are more likely to stick together, in turn increasing the risk for a stroke.
4) There is improper calcium uptake by the arteries, which leads to thickening and hardening of the arteries.
5) Cholesterol synthesis is disturbed because magnesium helps regulate how much should be made. Low magnesium fails to slow down the process as it does when levels are normal.
Magnesium is a basic nutrient that should be supplemented by virtually everyone. In addition to its cardiovascular role it is especially good at helping to offset stress and helping your nerves to relax.
