How Does Calcium and Magnesium Affect Your Heart Beat?

Most people know that they need calcium to build healthy bones and teeth, but did you know that calcium contracts your muscles while magnesium relaxes them?

Think of a heartbeat. The heart must contract then relax to perform its function of pumping blood through your body. If you’re deficient in one or the other, it can cause a malfunction. All the muscles and organs in your body work this way.

Like a car needs engine oil for smooth function, your nervous system needs calcium and magnesium for smooth function.

Deficiencies in calcium and/or magnesium affect your nervous system. Its job is to send signals (messages) to all your organs and muscles to do their job. If your nerves can’t send the signals, your body will malfunction as the organs and muscles don’t get the “message”.

This can affect your energy, cause depression, mood swings, PMS symptoms, aches, pains, spasms, hyperactivity, anxiety, raised temperatures, insomnia, compromised immune system, etc.

Calcium and magnesium losses can be caused by dehydration, sugar, alcohol, refined carbs, the wrong type of water, noise, stress, illness, breast feeding, exercise, diarrhea, excessive sweating, poor dietary habits, burning the midnight oil, illness, etc.

To be absorbed by your body, calcium and magnesium need to be in a 2:1 ratio and because they’re both alkaline, they need an acid base to create an optimum pH for absorption. Some commonly known acid bases are apple cider vinegar or vitamin C and citric acid.

When taking calcium and magnesium the correct way (in the correct ratios and pH), you can feel your nerves smoothing out almost instantly. Tablets and capsules often don’t get digested and can just lie in your stomach so are usually not the best way to take calcium and magnesium.

The benefits of taking calcium and magnesium daily include calmer nerves, natural tranquilizing, improved sleep, reduced hyperactivity, relief from PMS, nervousness, jumpiness, depression, mood swings, aches, pains, muscle spasms. They also improve hormonal and thyroid function, strengthen bones, teeth, nails and hair and are vitally important for your skin.
