Diet Rich In Magnesium May Help Reduce Risk Of Heart Disease, Diabetes, Research Review Suggests.

reported that a “research review” published online in BMC Medicine suggests “a diet rich in magnesium...may help lower the risk of chronic health problems like heart disease and diabetes.” Investigators “analyzed data on dietary magnesium and chronic disease from 40 studies published from 1999 to 2016 on more than one million people.” The data indicated that “compared with people who had the lowest levels of magnesium in their diets, people who got the most magnesium were 10 percent less likely to develop heart disease, 12 percent less likely to have a stroke and 26 percent less likely to develop diabetes.” http://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-diet-magnesium-idUSKBN14J1DG
