Lower your blood pressure with magnesium
Magnesium is an important mineral that is also able to lower your blood pressure. This is further confirmed by the results of a meta-study.
Magnesium appears to be a safe and effective agent for the treatment of mild to moderate depression. An over-the-counter tablet containing 250 milligrams of magnesium per day works remarkably well. According to the Americans, the effect of extra magnesium is already visible after two weeks, write American researchers affiliated with the University of Vermont in PLoS One.
Magnesium supplementation prevents bone fractures
Magnesium supplementation can prevent bone fractures in the elderly, according to research from the universities of Bristol (UK) and Eastern Finland. The research also indicates that eating more magnesium-rich foods alone is not enough.
A relatively high concentration of magnesium protects against arteriosclerosis. Epidemiologists from Mexico City write that in Nutrition Journal. According to their study, in which 1267 Mexicans participated, magnesium also protects against high blood pressure and type-2 diabetes.
