. If you find any of the information that I have compiled here useful. Feel free to make a donation. Magnesium appears to regulate the "gate" through which calcium enters the cells to "switch on" vital functions such as the heartbeat. It is vitally important that magnesium and calcium be in balance for the heart to beat regularly. One of the causes of ischemic heart disease (heart attack) is that the coronary arteries fail to provide all the oxygen the heart demands. The result is a spasm in the smooth muscle of the artery wall. Inadequate magnesium has been related to greater susceptibility to muscle spasms. Calcium-Magnesium Imbalances Calcium is crucial for the heart muscle to work properly, but if too many calcium IONS enter the heart when magnesium is in short supply..then the effect CAN be disruptive, including TOXIC, killing forms of oxygen! Some researchers suggest that this may be the VERY ROOT of heart tissue DEATH,and thus of myocardial infarction (heart attack). In fact, on close examination of female patients,existing blood clots were found to consist of calcium deposits. Sheldon Hendler,PH.D.believes that calcium/magnesium imbalance is the main obstacle to overcome."Once calcium has the upper hand it is all the more difficult for magnesium to promote the nucleic acid and protein synthesis necessary for mending the damaged heart muscle. STRESS: has been implicated in depleted magnesium levels, and may also be responsible for the lowered magnesium levels in women with premenstrual tension. Magnesium helps prevent tooth decay by holding calcium in tooth enamel. Poor magnesium intake has also been implicated in Osteoporosis. |

| Magnesium aids in maintaining your health at a cellular level. |
| Optimum Daily Intake-- ODI For optimum health, the basic optimum Daiy Intake for Magnesium is 500-750 mgs for Men and Women. |
| Magnesium works together with other nutrients such as Calcium and Vitamin D.The consensus being that the Calcium to Magnesium Ratio should be 2 to 1. |
| The potency of Magnesium supplements is determined by the amount of elemental Magnesium. I recommend taking Magnesium supplements as either Magnesium Carbonate or Magnesium Oxide, as these forms have the greatest Potency! |

MAGNESIUM is widely distributed in foods. Those foods with the highest magnesium content include seafoods, nuts, blackstrap molasses, soybeans, seeds, and wheat germ. WHOLE GRAINS such as oatmeal and rice are also good sources. Bear in mind, however, that... THE MAGNESIUM CONTENT OF FOOD VARIES considerably with the magnesium content of the soil in which the food is grown! In additon, much of the magnesium in food is lost during processing. For example, MILLING removes 59 percent of the magesium from whole wheat. Preparing or boiling in water at high temperatures invariably will deplete multiple minerals in numerous ways. To preserve precious minerals, try steaming your vegetables or saute them in Olive Oil. See: GoodFoods |
