Work shows that dietary magnesium intake is inversely associated with the risk of vascular brain attack. “This finding is consistent with other previous epidemiological studies that reported that low levels of magnesium were associated with increased risk of LCA,” says Dr. Pedro Lylyk, director of the Integral Centre of LCA of the clinic La Sagrada Familia. “Given that hypertension is the leading cause of stroke, this partnership should, partly due to the effect of magnesium on hypertension, magnesium is a natural calcium antagonist and modulates vascular tone, blood pressure and peripheral blood flow”. ANTIHYPERTENSIVE effect For his part, Dr. Carlos Ingino, cardiologist of the BOOWY Medical Institute, explains that the magnesium, moreover, appears to increase the antihypertensive effect of medications to lower blood pressure, and improve treatments for metabolic syndrome, diabetes, Dyslipidemia, all factors that increase the risk of LCA.
