Book excerpt: Do you suffer from high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, or chest pains? Do you get unexplained cramps or pains in your legs or back? Do you have trouble keeping your hands and feet warm? Has your doctor told you that you may be at risk for heart attack or stroke? If your answer is "yes", you may be surprised to learn that a deficiency of one simple mineral - magnesium - may be at the root of your problem. In Heart Healthy Magnesium, author James B. Pierce, Ph.D., explains how a surprising array of health problems - from insomnia, fading memory, and stiff, aching muscles, all the way to high blood pressure, arrhythmia, angina, heart attack, and stroke - may all be related to inadequate levels of magnesium in the body's muscle cells. Using clear non-technical language, Dr. Pierce explains the ways in which magnesium works to maintain the healthy functioning of the body as a whole, and of the cardiovascular system in particular. He discusses why and how magnesium deficiencies develop, how to know whether you are one of the many people affected by this condition, and what can happen when the body becomes starved for this essential mineral. Most important, he tells about the remarkable results that have been attained by using magnesium to promote heart health, and relates his own personal experience with cardiovascular disease. Dr. Pierce gives easy-to-follow guidelines for developing your own comprehensive and personalized nutritional program, including up-to-date information on diet, exercise, and stress reduction. Heart Healthy Magnesium provides an accurate account of the breakthrough scientific research that is now underway. It offers an approach to cardiovascular wellness thatinvolves no costly drugs and no undesirable side effects - just a simple, safe, and effective program that can help you feel better than you have in years.
