Below is a free sample Chapter: [more chapters on Amazon website] It shows you how to prevent cardiovascular diseases [CVD].

The heart is a marvelous, delicate and precise machine. We have been taught that the heart is a pump that circulates the blood throughout the body. Less known is that the heart has its own pace-maker. The heart generates a mysterious and powerful electromagnetic field. It has it's own brain, so to speak, and sends messages to the brain. "The heart is a sensory organ and acts as a sophisticated information encoding and processing center that enables it to learn, remember, and make independent functional decisions.” Indeed, the heart also resonates or beats to the rhythmic beat of the earth. [1] [2] [3]

The heart works best when it gets an ample amount of oxygen and nutrients. But when the heart is exposed to the wrong food or a lack of a ratio balance in nutrients, primarily magnesium to calcium, over a long period of time, then it reacts by depositing calcium in the arteries, thereby narrowing the small blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. Possible symptoms may include chest pain and tightness, high blood pressure, shortness of breath, weakness and pain in one side of the body, slurred speech, lack of balance and trouble walking, vision problems and confusion. These symptoms could indicate a number of heart problems referred to as coronary artery disease, or heart disease. Sadly, about 60 percent of persons, who appear to be well and had no previous symptoms, die suddenly. [4]

How heart and blood circulation work: Blood that flows through arteries carries red blood cells that deliver oxygen to nearby cells. Blood also delivers water, nutrients, and minerals to all the cells in the body, while removing carbon dioxide and excess waste material. So an interruption of blood supply has serious consequences because every cell in the body needs oxygen, water, nutrients and minerals to survive. This lack of oxygen, referred to medically as ischemia, can occur in any part of the body, and when it occurs in the brain, it is called an ischemic stroke. [5] [6]

The American Heart Association notes that the majority [estimated 80 percent] of cardiovascular diseases [CVD] can be entirely prevented. [7] [8]

The first approach to prevention is to be aware of the symptoms of a heart attack or stroke: [9] [10]

The next most important preventive approach is to be aware that there are two nutrients, hormone D [11] and magnesium, that can help prevent hypertension and congestive heart failure. Hormone D has an important supporting role in cardiovascular health. You can get more information about hormone D in Chapter 10 and magnesium in Chapter 9.

How magnesium intake influences heart health: Magnesium, in adequate amount, prevents calcium deposits in the arteries: Magnesium opens the door for calcium to be allowed into muscle cells to cause contraction, then, magnesium ushers excess calcium out of the cell. When magnesium is in short supply, calcium floods the heart cells and leads to hyper-contraction of the muscle cells, causing angina and even heart attack. [5] [15]

While the above information sounds good, there is a major flaw in accepting magnesium as a life savior. The body needs a delicate ratio balance of magnesium to calcium in order for both minerals to work properly. At this time this ratio is controversial. Best guess is that this ratio should be CA:Mg = 2:1. Calcium and magnesium have opposite effects on the heart and muscles. For example, excess of calcium can cause muscle cramps while magnesium relaxes muscles. [15] [16] But excess calcium intake by itself causes excess calcium deposits in arteries, causing atherosclerosis and muscle cramps.

Another flaw in using magnesium to prevent heart disease is that magnesium does not work by itself! It requires many co-factors to help it do its job in the body.

A major reason that many are deficient in magnesium is that 70 to 80 percent of magnesium ingested from food or supplements is not absorbed in the digestive system.

Magnesium is absolutely essential for the proper functioning of the heart. Heart surgeons have now recognized the importance of magnesium in controlling the heart for a long time. Heart patients scheduled for surgery are now given magnesium before and after surgery for several reasons: magnesium can help alleviate pain, decrease blood pressure and alleviate certain heart arrhythmias. Magnesium works to prevent blood clotting, relieves depression so common after bypass surgery, and improves energy and cognitive abilities. [5] [ [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] Magnesium is a natural calcium blocker, but this goes unrecognized by most physicians. [22]

Doctors now recognize that magnesium needs to be balanced by a proper amount of calcium. Excessive calcium and a shortage of magnesium intake are difficult to balance. Modern medicines' answer to the problem is to prescribe billions of dollars of calcium-blocker drugs. [22

While attention about magnesium is centered about preventing cardiovascular disorders, overlooked is that all body somatic cells need magnesium. [18] [23] Magnesium is found in amino acids and performs over 300 different body functions.

Although there may be heart and cardiovascular problems, we should not overlook the marvels of the heart.

Heart is an electric generator: The graphic illustration below shows that the heart sends electrical waves outside the body and that these waves can act as "heart to heart" emotions that can be sensed by those nearby.

The heart senses feelings of nearby persons: Ever get the feeling that a certain person or opposite sex finds you attractive? Woooh, a heartthrob! It is your heart silently communicating. Rolin McCraty, Director of Research at HeartMath Institute, explains this real happening by pointing out that Earth’s own magnetic field might be aiding this transmission of signals between people. “The earth’s magnetic field is a carrier wave of biologically relevant information,” he says. “This is what connects us all. It’s also part of the intuition: how a mom knows her son or daughter is distressed on the other side of the planet. Something has to be conveying that information, which often seems to happen almost instantaneously. My [McCraty] hypothesis is that this is literally the magnetic field of the earth, and there is a fair amount of support on that.” [1]

The heart actually produces a toroidal-shaped [donut] electromagnetic field identical to the one produced by the Earth, that extends up to fifteen feet outside of our bodies [refer to illustration above]. Medical doctors can pick up this electrical field and record it as an electocardiogram or EKG.

Heart has its own brain: Far more than a simple pump, as was once believed, the heart is now recognized by scientists as a highly complex system with its own functional “brain.” [1] It can compensate and adjust when the body needs to support stress, running or other activity by speeding or slowing the heart rate as needed.

While there is nothing you can do about your age or family history, you can control life style behaviors and prevent cardiovascular disorders: [6] [7] [9] [24] [25] [26]

New test for CVD: Arterial stiffness [hardening of arteries] may be a good indicator of vascular health and should be monitored throughout life. There is now a simple and affordable test to evaluate the stiffness [hardening of the arteries] between aortic stiffness and early brain damage. The test, Wave Velocity [PWV], and MRI are ways to predict heart disease in those who appear to be healthy.
