Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) and what you need to know about it..

15/3/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
The prevalence of hypertension amongst adults age 30 and above in Malaysia in 2011 was at 43.5%.*
In a more recent (2021) study, the figure jumped to 49.4%** High blood pressure does not discriminate between genders and it is a growing concern in Malaysia.

Let's try and understand hypertension a little better..

There are two types of hypertension: primary and secondary. It has been said that there is no single cause for primary hypertension while secondary hypertension always arises as a consequence of another disease. Causes of primary hypertension that are often cited include: family history, high cholesterol, obesity, diet, smoking, stress and excessive salt intake. Conversely, the one very significant cause -magnesium deficiency- is overlooked.[1]

This is how magnesium is involved with maintaining blood pressure levels:

  1. Magnesium keeps blood vessels relaxed and in dilated conditions as necessary, consequently maintaining normal blood pressure levels.[2]

  2. ‘Magnesium prevents muscle spasms of the peripheral blood vessels, which can lead to high blood pressure.’[3]

  3. By lowering hypertension and normalizing blood pressure levels, magnesium lowers the risk of pre-eclampsia. [4]
    ​
When mineral (calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, etc) content is balanced, BP is normal. However, today’s diet is typically imbalanced: low in magnesium and potassium, and high in sodium.
While the de-facto advice often is to reduce salt consumption, this does not address the problem of LACK or DEFICIENCY of magnesium and potassium. 

There are notable health professionals such as Dr. James DiNicolantonio who wrote The Salt Fix that can challenge what we believe about salt consumption. The problem is not in how much salt we consume, but what kind of salt, and whether it is balanced with the other minerals and electrolytes.

Magnesium, Obesity and Diabetes

7/3/2022

"The body requires magnesium to absorb and utilize nutrients. Without magnesium the body cannot properly use the fats, proteins and carbohydrates we eat every day. When we aren’t getting what we need from our diet, the body will crave more food in an effort to obtain those vital nutrients. By activating hundreds of enzymes in the body, magnesium helps you get the most from what you eat, so your body can be satisfied with the amount of food you genuinely need.*
⠀
Conditions like insulin resistance and diabetes are strongly associated with obesity. Obesity also often precedes the development of type 2 diabetes.   

By taking steps to prevent or reverse obesity, one would be evading not just one disease, but several potential major diseases including heart diseases. Furthermore, supplementation of magnesium to counter a deficiency in the mineral and for the maintenance of your body can be greatly beneficial.

When enough magnesium is present in the body, insulin can function properly and blood glucose is used for energy. A magnesium deficiency causes insulin to function poorly, resulting in high blood sugar and fat storage."⠀

With regard to obesity and diabetes [1] :

‘A large clinical study of over 2000 people found that getting more magnesium in the diet may help protect against developing type 2 diabetes.’[2] For every 100 mg of increased daily magnesium intake, the risk of developing type-2 diabetes fall by 15 %.

-Magnesium has a role in activating enzymes in your body that control the processes of digestion, absorption and use of fats, carbohydrates and proteins.

-Magnesium is needed for insulin to open cell membranes for glucose to enter and contribute in the production of energy for your body.

-When your body is low in  magnesium and high in calcium, both insulin and glucose levels become elevated. The excess glucose gets stored as fat and contributes to obesity; in addition to placing you on the path towards diabetes. Furthermore, your body responds to low magnesium-high calcium conditions as follows [3]:

  1. beta cells (insulin producers) make & release too much insulin = hyperinsulinemia

  2. fat tissue cells unable to respond to insulin = insulin resistance

  3. muscle cells unable to respond to insulin = insulin resistance

  4. liver cells produce too much glucose = poor glucose tolerance  (diabetes)

-At high dosages, magnesium supports nerve regeneration that combats diabetic neuropathy of the organs and peripherals. [4] [5]

-Magnesium is necessary in metabolizing B vitamins which help in preventing obesity genes from expressing themselves.[6]

-‘…magnesium supplementation has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity. Based on current knowledge, clinicians have good reason to believe that magnesium repletion may play a role in delaying type 2 diabetes onset and potentially in warding off its devastating complications — cardiovascular disease, retinopathy, and nephropathy.’[7]

What we recommend chronic sufferers of diabetes, insulin resistance and obesity is to ensure healthy magnesium levels and regular use/uptake of magnesium. A good way would be by having daily foot soaks or baths with magnesium flakes for 4-6 weeks. You can then cut back to soaks 2-3x a week after that. Combine this with daily use of magnesium oil and/or lotion, higher intake of magnesium-rich foods and increase physical movement, Furthermore, do eliminate all negative talk, low vibe-ing people, processed foods, sugars and inflammatory foods for faster, longer-lasting results! 
Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly and take measurements, and we look forward to hearing from you on your progress!

How a deficiency in magnesium can be causing your headaches and migraines..

5/3/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
There are many factors that can contribute to you having a headache; one of them is stress. Did you know that magnesium is natural stress reliever? Furthermore,  serotonin (a neurotransmitter) is dependent on magnesium for its production and function[1]. In theory, the lower your serotonin levels, the more adverse the effects of stress can be on you. A deficiency in serotonin can also lead to depression and migraine headaches.[2] ‘Mg deficiency intensifies adverse reactions to stress that can be life threatening.’ [3]
Picture
‘Mg deficiency intensifies adverse reactions to stress that can be life threatening.’
​
a)     Stress can induce tension in your muscles = tension headaches.

b)     Magnesium relaxes the head and neck muscle tension.

c)     Magnesium relaxes blood vessels, allowing them to dilate, thus reducing spasms and constrictions that can cause migraines.
d)    Magnesium relaxes muscles and prevents the build-up of lactic acid; lactic acid in combination with tension can worsen head and muscle pain.

e)     Magnesium regulates brain neurotransmitter action and inflammatory substances.

f)     Magnesium prevents platelet aggregation (the clumping together of platelets in the blood)[4], therefore preventing the formation of clots that can cause blood vessel spasm and the occurrence of migraine pains.

It has been suggested by a few clinical studies that ‘magnesium supplements may shorten the duration of a migraine and reduce the amount of medication needed.’ Individuals who have migraine headaches usually tend to have lower levels of magnesium in comparison to those with tension headaches or no headaches at all.[5]

The importance of magnesium to the nervous system is such that your brain stores twice as much magnesium as other body tissues. Magnesium is an anti-stress mineral that has a calming effect, induces restful sleep and is very useful for the person with an overactive nervous system or who is anxious or agitated.

As a preventative measure, we recommend having regular foot soaks or baths using magnesium flakes, using magnesium oil or lotion daily, and increasing your intake of magnesium-rich foods.
In an acute situation, where you feel the onslaught of a migraine or have a headache, we suggest saturating your scalp with magnesium oil, apply magnesium oil on your forehead, temples, back of neck, shoulders and chest. Some users like to also add 5-10 drops of Mg Oil to a glass of warm water, drink that then rest/relax in a cool and dark room until you feel the migraine/headache ease off. Do as many of the above suggested as you can. We know headaches and migraines don't always come at convenient times. But in general for many, the more magnesium used in a shorter span of time, the faster the results.

If you have other recommendations, or have used magnesium for your headaches and migraines, please do share in a comment below!

Magnesium & Stroke

20/2/2022

0 Comments

 
PictureWhen there is excess calcium in the body, without adequate magnesium, issues of calcification and blood clotting can arise.

​It has been said that the ‘most common cause of stroke in the adult population is due to atherosclerosis.’[1] Correspondingly, it has also been said that the most common cause of stroke is the blockage of an artery by a clot.

Either way, magnesium prevents both the formation of blood clots and atherosclerosis besides many other serious or even fatal conditions.

With regard to magnesium and strokes:  
​
  1. Magnesium opens up blood vessels and protects and inner layer of blood vessels.

  2. Magnesium = natural statin to keep cholesterol in check.[2]

  3. Magnesium is beneficial for hypertension; atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis, and diabetic complications, thus reducing any risk of stroke.

  4. When magnesium and blood sugar levels are both low, the glutamate part of monosodium glutamate (MSG) causes the death of brain cells after entering them. Magnesium protects the brain from the toxic effects of food additives and other chemicals.[3]

  5. Magnesium is given to all surgical patients by good neurosurgeons as it helps the brain recover from surgery and aids in preventing post-surgical strokes, or makes them less damaging.[4]

  6. With treatments such as the RELOX procedure in the U.S., the prescription of intravenous Magnesium as part of the procedure has seen miraculous results in the recovery of stroke patients. One patient who was completely paralyzed on his left side and was able to walk within ten days of daily treatments. [5]​

Magnesium for Healthy Hearts

7/2/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Magnesium is essential for healthy heart rhythm.
It is involved in transporting electrolytes, such as 
calcium and potassium -which are important for sending nerve signals and muscle contractions (heartbeat)- into cells.

​Research indicates that magnesium deficiency, or restricted magnesium intake, increases instances of 
arrhythmia (irregular heartbeats).

Picture​
When a heart is healthy, it contains more magnesium than other muscles and when magnesium levels are low, the levels in the heart cells drop more than in other muscles. Muscles need magnesium in order to function as each molecule of myosin (muscle protein) contains one atom of magnesium.[1] ‘Magnesium is a vital structural component of all muscle cells, and the heart is mainly a muscle.’[1]

In hospital settings.. 
​
Magnesium has been administered for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) patients and cardiac arrhythmia (irregular beating of the heart) with positive results.
[3] 
​Magnesium is also used for treating angina.
[4]

​The importance of magnesium with regard to heart health can be summarised as follows:

  1. Magnesium is necessary for ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to generate energy for various processes and productions, including energy for muscles.[5] 
  2. Magnesium prevents the formation of blood clots by slowing the release of thromboxane (a fatty acid that raises the likelihood of blood platelets clotting).[6]
  3. Magnesium draws out calcium from cells, arterial lining, blood vessels, etc. thus preventing calcification and other problems.  
  4. Magnesium + Calcium control contraction / relaxation (retraction) actions respectively which in turn controls blood pressure.
  5. Magnesium prevents the accumulation of calcium in cholesterol plaque in arteries[7], consequently preventing atherosclerosis[8] and arteriosclerosis.
  6. Magnesium controls potassium & calcium levels; magnesium plays a pivotal role in the regulating of your heart beats.
  7. Magnesium is necessary for enzymes that keep potassium within cells and sodium outside.

Picture
Magnesium-rich food are also nutrient-rich and often high in fibre.
​​ Post heart attack, magnesium…
  • prevents rhythm problems
  • improves blood flow to heart by dilating blood vessels
  • protects the damaged/weakened heart against calcium overload
  • improves heart muscle function
  • breaks down any clots blocking the arteries

Before heart problems arise, be sure to take care of your magnesium levels! This can be through eating more magnesium-rich foods; daily applications of magnesium oil, lotion or gel, and regular magnesium flakes foot soaks and baths.

How magnesium helps with attaining peak performance in sports

13/1/2022

Picture
In Brief:
  1. Calcium contracts muscle, magnesium relaxes muscle = muscle movement.
  2. Magnesium reduces lactic acid build-up.
  3. ATP + Magnesium = energy for cells.
  4. Magnesium prevents excessive muscle contraction
  5. Magnesium acts against muscle tension.
  6. Magnesium regulates heart muscle rhythm.
'People who exercise hard have higher magnesium requirements than people who are sedentary – and if levels fall too low, it can be difficult to increase endurance levels.’
When you sweat, you lose magnesium.[1] When you flex your muscles, you need magnesium to relax them. Magnesium plays a big part in keeping you going. When calcium (the initiator of contractions) is present without sufficient amounts of magnesium (the initiator of relaxation) in your body, muscle cramps and a build up of lactic acid can abound.[2]

So how does magnesium have major implications with regard to athletes?

‘People who exercise hard have higher magnesium requirements than people who are sedentary – and if levels fall too low, it can be difficult to increase endurance levels.’[3]

An amazing fact about magnesium is its effect on the neuromuscular system – it provides more energy despite its usual role as a relaxant. If you start taking magnesium, your energy levels will go up as it helps with metabolising glucose and it influences the formation of energy packets called ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which your cells need. Magnesium helps prevent calcium from causing excessive contraction.[4] In other words, magnesium eases your movements.

The higher the intensity of your exercise, the greater your need of magnesium becomes in order to burn glucose for making energy to meet the requirements of your straining muscles.[5]

Whether your exercise regimen is in short bursts or drawn out, adrenalin is discharged and magnesium is moved (mobilized) from your blood to your cells and vice versa. Exercise and the release of adrenalin cause magnesium to move into the body’s exercise-active regions and away from inactive sites. [6]  Without sufficient “backup” magnesium, this can be a major issue.

'...you should always make sure that your magnesium status is in order before starting any exercise programme.'

Stress from strenuous exercise on a body that is low in magnesium will lead to symptoms of magnesium deficiency manifesting.  Furthermore, when magnesium is low, exercise or training can use up the little magnesium that is available and increase your body’s need for magnesium. If your level of magnesium is low enough, a burst of exercise can be the cause of cardiac arrhythmia and even be the cause of sudden death. This can happen to you regardless of your weight or fitness level.  Therefore, you should always make sure that your magnesium status is in order before starting any exercise programme. Accurate measurements of cellular magnesium levels are difficult to obtain so the best thing you can do for yourself if you plan on exercising is to supplement your diet with magnesium.
​​
PictureExercising without adequate magnesium can be harmful to the heart.
Magnesium is needed for the attachment of mRNA to ribosome and the activation of amino acids which help in the process of making proteins, i.e., protein production depends on optimal magnesium levels. It is hypothesised that low magnesium levels may negatively affect the metabolism of protein, which could result in lowered strength gains in a structured workout regimen.[7]

Exercise can be dangerous for you when your body’s cells are low in magnesium. Exercise stress can be bad as it ‘causes the release of adrenaline and the sudden shift in magnesium from the cells to the blood, further lowering magnesium in cells to dangerously inadequate levels.’[8] Exercise-stress induced magnesium loss is particularly harmful to the heart as ‘magnesium in heart cells is rapidly exchangeable.’[9]

If you haven't already, we recommend including a minimum of 2 magnesium flakes foot soaks or baths a week, and daily applications of magnesium oil and/or magnesium lotion to support better energy production, muscle health and performance. This would be part of an ideal routine that includes more nutrient-dense and magnesium-rich foods, adequate hydration, necessary stretches and warm-ups, and last but not least, beauty sleep!

Sound Healing 101

14/9/2020

1 Comment

 
PictureSinging bowl meditation can lower blood pressure. [16]

​​Sound healing therapy uses aspects of music and sound to improve physical and emotional health and well-being.[1] Energetically, it is said that sounds and frequencies can help balance chakras, of which there are 7. 

Greek physician Hippocrates was among the first to play music for mental health patients in 400 BC.[2] The philosophers Plato and Aristotle claimed that music affected the soul and the emotions. In Ancient Egypt, music therapy was a staple in temples. Native American culture uses song and dance to heal the sick. Closer to home, here in Malaysia, “Sewang” is an Orang Asli [3] religious ritual that involves music, dance and singing. Sewang is “performed to heal a patient’s illness, to propitiate (request permission, renew agreement and thanksgiving) or to revitalize the spirit, and as a form of entertainment.” [4] For Muslims the world over, there is the belief in the healing powers of zikir meditation and Qur’an recitation. Instances of sound healing therapy are limitless.[5]

Humans experience different types of brainwaves[6]:
  • Alpha waves (8-13 hz): when in a relaxed and calm state.
  • Beta waves (13-38 hz: when actively thinking or problem-solving.
  • Delta waves (below 4 hz): during sleep cycles.
  • Theta waves (4-7 hz): during sleep cycles and associated with deep relaxation and visualization.
  • Gamma brain waves (39-100 hz): during higher mental activity and consolidation of information.​​

Picture

By using select sound frequencies and rhythms, you can manoeuvre and downshift your brain from the beta state (normal consciousness) to the theta state (relaxed consciousness). 
​
In 2006 study published in the Journal of Advanced Nursing revealed that those who listen to music feel less pain and experiences less anxiety than those who do not.[7]
In 2009, Nunung Febriany Sitepu of the Prince of Songkla University published his research that proved that zikir meditation is effective in the reduction of post-operation pain.[8]

In 2018, researchers examined the effects of sounds on salivary excretion of cortisol by participants exposed to various conditions (sound of water, relaxing music and 0 auditory stimulus) for ten minutes. They were then exposed to 10 minutes of a regulated psychosocial [9] task that was stressful. Participants’ cortisol levels were assessed prior to, during and after the task. The result? The effect of water sounds was significant in modulating cortisol levels, but not the relaxing music nor those who had zero exposure to any sound.[10]  In another study, it was found that when participants were exposed to natural sounds while laying in an MRI machine, their brain connectivity suggested an outward focus of attention, whereas those who were exposed to artificial sounds, their brain brain connectivity suggested an inward focus of attention. Inward focus of attention takes place when one is anxious or dealing with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.[11]

PictureTuning forks: when placed at certain points on the body—may help relieve muscle and bone pain. [17]

"Using different sound frequencies can stimulate cell production of nitric oxide, a vasodilator that opens up blood vessels, helps cells be more efficient, and mediates your blood pressure at a cellular level," says Dr. Mark Menolascino, Medical Director of the Meno Clinic – Center for Functional Medicine.[12] Being in a parasympathetic state "increases antibody production for better immunity, it helps decrease cortisol, which helps you decrease high blood pressure, and it increases alpha and theta waves so you can be more alert during the day and go into a deeper sleep, where healing really occurs.” Dr. Martinez-Perez[13] 

Different types of sound-healing modalities include [14]:
1) Vocals: passively listening or actively vocalising (by way of humming, meditation, prayer and song as a few examples) 

2) Musical instruments: tuning forks, drumming, flute, monochord, kalimba, etc
3) Tibetan singing bowls
4) Dalcroze method
5) Neurologic music
6) Bonny method
7) Nordoff-Robbins method
8) Binaural beats [15], also known as brainwave entertainment

9) Vibroacoustic therapy
10) Wind chimes​

PictureThe sound of flowing water in nature can be healing. Not water dripping from a leaky tap!
Sound healing is commonly used in helping to treat stress, anger, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, insomnia, and lots more.
​
Sound healing is non-invasive, and can be inexpensive. Whether you book an appointment with a therapist of a sound-healing modality, or you switch off all your devices and take some time out to carry out sound-therapy independently, what harm can there be in giving it a try?
