According to the researchers from of Hertfordshire University, Hatfield, in the UK, regular use of a common supplement found in every drug store significantly lowers high blood pressure.<\/p>\nAccording to the researchers from of Hertfordshire University, Hatfield, in the UK, regular use of a common supplement found in every drug store significantly lowers high blood pressure.<\/p>\n
Not only that, it also relaxes blood vessels, dissolves blood clots, prevents arrhythmia, spasms in the heart muscle and acts as a powerful antioxidant against free radicals.<\/p>\n
British researchers conducted a double blind, placebo-controlled study involving 155 study participants. <\/p>\n
They were instructed to consume either a daily dose of magnesium supplements or a placebo for a 12-week period. <\/p>\n
The results revealed a significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure numbers for those who took magnesium compared to the placebo group.<\/p>\n
Your body needs magnesium to produce a powerful substance called vasodilators. <\/p>\n
When blood pressure spikes, blood vessels harden and become narrow. That forces the heart to increase the power to be able to supply enough blood to body tissues. <\/p>\n
Vasodilators help your blood vessels to relax and expand, allowing the blood flow more easily, resulting in lower blood pressure. <\/p>\n
Magnesium is extremely important to your heart. It\u2019s responsible for the action of our heart muscle, relaxation of blood vessels, proper immune functioning, blood glucose regulation, as well as nerve and muscle function. <\/p>\n
It also helps dissolve blood clots, prevents arrhythmia, spasms in the heart muscle, and acts as a powerful antioxidant against free radicals.<\/p>\n
Magnesium is abundant in different foods, especially fruits, green vegetables and cereal. <\/p>\n
The recommended intake of magnesium for adults is 300-400 mg\/day.<\/p>\n
