Magnesium is essential for nerve and heart function and aids many enzyme reactions.
Magnesium deficiency causes an irregular heartbeat, sometimes accompanied by weakness, muscle pain, disorientation, and seizures. Adequate magnesium intakes decrease cardiovascular disease risk by decreasing blood pressure by dilating arteries and preventing heart rhythm abnormalities.
Rich sources for magnesium are wheat bran, broccoli, potatoes, squash, beans, nuts, and seeds, milk and meats, hard tap water and coffee.
