4. Take magnesium
There are many nutrients that we need to be healthy, but each one of them has specific functions in our body. For example, potassium helps our nervous system communicate with our muscles, iron is fundamental for blood cells to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide, and iodine is a key component of our thyroid hormones.
Magnesium in particular plays a big part in the healthy function of our nerve cells, which transport signals all throughout our body, connecting our centers of body control such as our brain and our brain stem with all tissues and organs below.
These are the fibers that connect our central nervous system to our heart and tell it how fast or slow it should beat, as well as connect all parts of our heart to make sure they beat in coordination. Magnesium supplements will keep your nerve cells healthy and protect your heart from arrhythmia.
