Magnesium Rich Foods Cut Stroke Risk

This amazing study reported that male smokers can reduce their stroke risk by increasing the amounts of magnesium-rich foods they eat.  Magnesium has been shown to reduce blood pressure, and this may correlate with its ability to reduce the risk of stroke.  Moral of the story?  Eat your magnesium!

The article states:

“Finnish men who smoked more than five cigarettes a day were enrolled in the study after providing complete dietary information, and included 26,566 participants, aged 50 to 69 years The average follow up time was 13.6 years. The men who consumed at least 589 mg/day of dietary magnesium daily were found to have a significantly lower risk of ischemic stroke than those who consumed the average amount of 373 mg/day.”
