Magnesium for a brain boost

Keep your mind sharp with magnesium. Research shows that this mineral helps regulate a key brain receptor that plays an important role in learning and memory. Experts believe that magnesium deficiency may result in reduced ability to learn and memorise things, while cognitive function may be improved by an abundance of magnesium.

Take action:

Include at least one portion of a magnesium-rich food, such as green, leafy vegetables or beans in your diet every day. Make sure that you also include calcium-rich foods, such as milk, yoghurt or cheese, in your diet - or else the magnesium won't be absorbed.

Magnesium-rich foods ward off stroke in smokers
Reuters
Published: Wednesday, March 26
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Diets rich magnesium, found in whole grains and vegetables, could help reduce stroke risk in smokers, researchers reported on Monday.

Their study of 26,000 male smokers in Finland found that those whose diets were high in magnesium had a significantly lower risk of one type of stroke.

While the mechanism is not clear, it may be that magnesium helps reduce high blood pressure, which can lead to stroke if untreated.

Raw broccoli is an excellent source of magnesium. Diets rich in magnesium, found in whole grains and vegetables, could help reduce stroke risk in smokers, researchers reported on Monday.
Raw broccoli is an excellent source of magnesium. Diets rich in magnesium, found in whole grains and vegetables, could help reduce stroke risk in smokers, researchers reported on Monday.
Susanna Larsson and colleagues at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, said the stroke finding was an offshoot of a study whose main purpose was to look at possible lung cancer therapies.

Cigarette smoking is strongly linked to stroke and it is the leading cause of heart disease and cancer.
The study of 26,556 Finnish men followed for more than 13 years found that those who consumed an average of 589 milligrams of magnesium each day in their diets had a 15 percent lower risk for cerebral infarction -- a stroke that occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked -- than those who consumed less magnesium.

The effect was stronger for men younger than 60 and the study also found that calcium, potassium and sodium intake were not associated with risk for any type of stroke, the researchers reported in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

The y said it remains to be seen if taking magnesium dietary supplements would produce the same result.
"In addition to lowering blood pressure, magnesium may influence cholesterol concentrations or the body's use of insulin to turn glucose into energy. Either of these mechanisms would affect the risk for cerebral infarction but not hemorrhage (the cause of other types of strokes)," Larsson's team wrote.
Besides whole grains, foods high in magnesium are black beans, broccoli, halibut, peanuts, oysters, rockfish and spinach.

  3. This helps business managers to determine what the general public thinks about their products or services.

  6. You want to relive the memories of your wedding day for the rest of your life and the right equipment is
    a prerequisite to turn this into a reality. When views start to drop
    off after a few days you can then change the tags to something
    more specific and hope you’ve generated enough initial traffic to keep
    the momentum up. Thus, interaction over video has made every small and medium

  9. What is the most important portion is the sincere words that
    you put together in the poems that will catch the attention of the one you loved as this is
    what you truly want from the romantic poems that you have created for him.
    Of course, when it comes to song and ordered modulations and
    reinventions, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears should
    be believed. Wedding poetry can be used during wedding toasts, and if you find the right balance, it can make a big difference.
