To Salt or Not to Salt – That is the Question

A new Belgium salt study has thrown the American Heart Association and even our Centers for Disease Control into a tizzy. The AHA continually promotes salt as evil and that no more than 1500 mgs should be consumed daily. The new study indicates that healthy people age 40 and over have higher rates of heart disease if they consume a low-salt diet. The fact that the Journal of the American Medical Association published the study has elevated the salt debate to a whole new level of noisy discourse – not to mention confusion for consumers.

Magnesium is Essential for Preventing Substance P Overload

Substance P is a neuropeptide that is typically ”over-heated” in situations of anxiety, depression, digestive bloating, insomnia, fibromyalgia, PTSD, and cardiovascular deterioration. New research shows that one of the first signs of magnesium deficiency is that it enables the over-production of substance P.

Magnesium Lowers CRP in Poorly Sleeping Adults

How well you get through your day and how well you sleep at night are highly inter-related. Daytime inflammation in excess leaves extra inflammation in your nerves at night which gets in the way of sleep. A new study with adults shows that 320 mg per day of supplemental magnesium can lower inflammatory CRP and help sleep.

Atrial Fibrillation Linked to Risk for Cognitive Decline and Alzheimer’s

It is well known that the chronic irregular heart beats of atrial fibrillation increases the risk for stroke, which in turn could cause a significant loss of cognitive function. However, a new study indicates that atrial fibrillation, independent of stroke, is a major warning sign that something is not right in the nervous system and that if the problem is not fixed then the person is at a 38 percent to 50 percent increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Magnesium Boosts BDNF and Synaptic Plasticity to Help Overcome Fear & Anxiety

Emotional, painful experiences contribute to future behavior that can be unduly influenced by fear or anxiety. If past painful experiences are intense then full-blown post traumatic stress disorder may develop, which in my book, is an overheated brain stem and limbic system. A new study shows that elevating brain levels of magnesium can help undo the bad programming and help create new brain response patterns not influenced by fear or anxiety.
