DR. RATH HEALTH LETTER

As long as there are no complaints, people usually give little thought to the many tasks of the organism and how the repair mechanisms work. The body simply has to "function". But things can get serious when the energy flow comes to a standstill, and internal processes get out of balance. The interaction of the individual organs forms the "orchestra" that sets the tone. The heart muscle cells send out impulses and stimulate the heartbeat. Essential minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are needed to ensure a smooth process.

AN AFFAIR OF THE HEART

WHEN THE HEART SKIPS A BEAT The heart regulates blood distribution and is responsible for supplying oxygen and nutrients to the cells. It accomplishes hard work every day – but the cardiovascular system reacts sensitively to overload and may respond with disorders. The causes are not always organic. An unbalanced potassium and magnesium level promotes extrasystoles and cardiac arrhythmias. Heart palpitations and other functional heart complaints can be the result of a mineral imbalance. The essential nutrients influence the activity of the heart muscle. The need for these micronutrients increases during stress or other daily challenges. In addition to potassium and magnesium, calcium, iron, and vitamin B6 play an important role. Magnesium ensures relaxed muscles; calcium is responsible for muscle contractions. Magnesium also has a beneficial effect on calcium absorption and acts as an energy supplier. Iron and vitamin B6 are involved in the formation of red blood cells, which supply the organism with oxygen. A synergistic micronutrient combination is particularly effective – it also prevents other heart diseases and circulatory imbalances. Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias. Typical symptoms are an irregular heartbeat and palpitations. Obese people with coronary heart disease have an increased risk of atrial fibrillation.
