Magnesium Solution for High Blood Pressure: How to Use Magnesium to Help Prevent and Relieve Hypertension Naturally

Author: Jay S Cohen

More than 50 million Americans have high blood pressure -- a devastating disease that can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Doctors routinely prescribe drugs for this condition, but these medications often cause side effects. As a nationally recognized expert on medications and side effects, Dr. Jay S. Cohen wants to make you aware of a safe, natural solution to high blood pressure -- the mineral magnesium.

Magnesium is essential for the normal functioning of nerves, muscles, blood vessels, bones, and the heart, yet more than 75% of the population is deficient in it. Dr. Cohen has written The Magnesium Solution for High Blood Pressure to provide you and your doctor with all of the information needed to understand why magnesium is essential for helping to prevent and treat high blood pressure. Dr. Cohen explains why magnesium is necessary for normal vascular functioning, how to use magnesium along with hypertension drugs, and the best types of magnesium to use. Most importantly, Dr. Cohen has made the evidence-based research on magnesium's safety and effectiveness highly readable and usable by anyone.

This book offers the facts on this natural alternative for the prevention and treatment of hypertension. Here is valuable information for anyone seeking a natural, safe, non-drug option for high blood pressure.
