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 frequently 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.
The Magnesium Solution for High Blood
Pressure 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.
