“My heart restored,

My waters cleansed,

The power surges

In love to mend.”

Magnesium is Crucial for Heart Health. Part 2.

The progression of cardiovascular disease correlates with declining levels of magnesium.

The heart is the most important muscle in the body. It has to pump blood 24/7 to keep you alive and can’t afford to have a rest. Whilst you are sleeping it has to do its work – even at the same time the heart's tissue cells are being replaced and restored. It’s like getting mechanical repairs while you are still driving your car!

Like the brain, the heart (sometimes referred to as the second brain) commands respect for its extraordinary work. It is an amazing biological instrument which we depend on for every breath we take. Every time your heart beats, it needs magnesium to do that work. Interestingly, the left ventricle of the heart muscle has more magnesium receptors than any other muscle in the body.
