Answers:
Hi Butterfly.
Each human organism, individual, so talk to your doctor and pharmacist before taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicines, including herbal products.
DIOVAN helps your blood vessels relax and widen so your blood can flow more freely, and your heart doesn't have to work as hard to pump blood through your body. But Diovan or Valsartan can affect potassium levels in the body. You may not be able to take valsartan, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring if you are taking any of the medicines.
About Magnesium. Magnesium plays a role in controlling the neuromuscular activities of the heart and helps to keep the heartbeat regular. It also helps to keep blood pressure levels within the normal range. For these reasons, researchers have been investigating the ways that magnesium could affect heart disease treatment and prevention. Magnesium plays a vital role in several hundred of your body's functions, including normal heart function, but the majority of Americans are not getting enough in their daily diets.
Even the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) points out that, "For many people, dietary intake may not be high enough to promote an optimal magnesium status, which may be protective against disorders such as cardiovascular disease and immune dysfunction." Please look article: http://www.askedweb.com/askedweb/magnesi...
"Increasing dietary intake of magnesium can often restore mildly depleted magnesium levels," ODS reported. So go ahead and indulge in some magnesium-rich favorites like guacamole with some whole-grain crackers, baked acorn squash, fruit salad and mixed greens. You'll be well on your way to a healthy magnesium level and, as more and more research is pointing out, a healthy heart to go along with it. But remember to consult with your doctor.
