What Happens to Your Heart When Magnesium Is Low
Magnesium is one of the fundamental minerals without which stable functioning of the cardiovascular system is impossible. When magnesium is deficient, the heart is often one of the first structures to respond, with rhythm disturbances and reduced tolerance to physical load. At the same time, magnesium does not play a narrowly “cardiological” role, but participates in the functioning of the nervous, gastrointestinal, muscular, skeletal, and other systems of the body. It is involved in hundreds of biochemical processes, supports energy metabolism, regulates cellular excitability, and influences the body’s adaptation to physical and psychological stress. At the same time, magnesium deficiency remains one of the most common and, at the same time, one of the least recognized conditions.
