Every 40 seconds. That's how often someone dies from heart disease — the nation's No. 1 killer — which claims the lives of nearly 600,000 Americans every year.
But what if you could greatly lower your risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke simply by taking a single over-the-counter pill every day? Dennis Goodman, M.D., one of the nation's top cardiologists, says that idea, in essence, is the promise offered by magnesium — a common mineral clinically shown to boost heart health.
In his new book, "Magnificent Magnesium," Dr. Goodman documents the strong link between cardiovascular disease and magnesium deficiency — and explains how the mineral help combat the nation's epidemic of heart problems.

And inexpensive at that.
How much are you supposed to have? The article does not state the proper amount either by food or supplement.
"He believes magnesium does not garner as much media attention — or advertising — as blockbuster heart pills and cholesterol-lowering statins because the pharmaceutical companies don't have a financial stake in promoting its use." That is what it's all about!
I did not read the link,but magnesium actually enables other nutrients to work better,as well as being important by itself.
So does exercise, proper diet and not smoking.
