Magnesium reduserer blodtrykket naturlig uten bivirkninger

A diet rich in magnesium may help reduce the incidence of metabolic syndrome, the cluster of conditions that can lead to diabetes and coronary heart disease.

Data from 22 trials with magnesium supplements revealed that the mineral may reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure, researchers from the University of Hertfordshire report in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Combined with diet and lifestyle changes, magnesium supplementation may lead to an overall reduction of up to 15-20mm Hg.
Systolic function relates to the contraction of the heart, whereas diastolic relates to the filling of the heart with blood.
"Magnesium supplementation appears to achieve a small but clinically significant reduction in BP, an effect worthy of future prospective large randomised trials using solid methodology," wrote researchers, led by Lindsy Kass.
