A meta-analysis of seven stroke studies which, also evaluated magnesium

intake, has clearly shown that higher magnesium levels protect against

ischemic stroke (the most common type). Each 100 mg increment of magnesium

intake per day was associated with an eight percent risk reduction for stroke.

Magnesium is a key anti-inflammatory mineral that relaxes your nerves and

arteries, and supports healthy electrical signaling to your heart. A m

ajority of Americans lack optimal magnesium intake due to a refined-food diet,

and soils that lack magnesium from poor farming methods.

The current study, involving 241,378 participants, is published in the

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition along with an editorial asking for

public health officials to take action. For anyone with common sense, such

public health action should be a **no-brainer.** Who would not be in favor of

easy nutrition recommendations to reduce strokes, the number one killer in

America? We could start with the American Heart Association and American

Medical Association, not to mention the Food and Drug Administration.

Unfortunately, drug sales trump public health education, especially when good

nutrition is the clear winner.

As I mentioned yesterday, flavonoids are now shown to reduce the risk of

stroke. In addition to magnesium, so does DHA from fish oil and vitamin D.

All of these nutrients are common deficiencies in America.
