Thiazide diuretics are the most commonly prescribed blood pressure medications and are taken by more than 40 million people. While they help remove excess sodium, they can also deplete magnesium, an essential mineral involved in blood pressure control. Without enough magnesium, calcium can build up inside the arteries, causing them to become more constricted. This is why calcium channel blockers are commonly used for high blood pressure. Magnesium acts as a natural calcium channel blocker and natural beta blocker. Many diuretics for high blood pressure can also deplete potassium. Potassium and magnesium work together to help keep the arteries relaxed, yet deficiencies in both nutrients are very common. Potassium also depends on adequate magnesium to function properly. Vitamin D deficiency may also contribute to hypertension, and vitamin D relies on magnesium for proper activation and function. High blood pressure is often viewed as a sodium problem, but focusing solely on reducing sodium intake may overlook other important factors and cause other problems. Addressing potassium and magnesium deficiencies could be a better way supporting healthy blood pressure levels.

Sciatic nerve pain can be caused by a protruded disc, scar tissue on the nerve root, arthritis, an injury, or extended periods of sitting. Poor posture, excess driving, and aging can also contribute to the problem. Inversion uses the weight of your upper body to pull down on your lower back, creating negative pressure and increasing blood flow. This also breaks up adhesions and scar tissue. For the quickest lower back pain relief, try intermittent inversion traction. This involves inverting your body for 1 to 2 minutes and then repeatedly returning to an upright position. It can significantly reduce sciatic nerve pain by targeting the nerve, disc, scar tissue, and blood flow all at once. Research has shown that inversion therapy increases flexibility, reduces the risk of surgery for sciatica, and can relieve lower back pain better than medication. If you have high blood pressure, glaucoma, or heart problems, check with your doctor before doing inversion therapy. Start slow with inversion therapy. Begin with a gentle angle of 15–30 degrees for just 1–2 minutes, once or twice a day for the first week. Gradually work up to 5 minutes at a time (in 1-minute intervals) at a 60-degree angle over the next 1–2 weeks. After 3–4 weeks, you can try full inversion for 15–20 minutes, broken into 2-minute intervals, three to four times per week. Intermittent inversion traction will leave you feeling taller with less sciatic nerve pain. You’ll also feel like you’ve had a fantastic stretch! Other ways to eliminate sciatica pain include: •Following a low-carb ketogenic diet •Take 20,000 to 30,000 IU of vitamin D3 and 400 mg of magnesium glycinate (include vitamin K2) •Eliminate omega-6 seed oils from your diet •Perform myofascial stretching You can also perform sciatica stretches without an inversion table! Try the child’s pose with blankets, a wall-assisted leg-up stretch, or lying spinal decompression with a stability ball for sciatic nerve pain relief. Swimming can also be very therapeutic.

Discover the interesting benefits of glucosamine that go beyond just supporting osteoarthritis.

Today I want to share some interesting benefits of glucosamine that go way beyond support for osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is an amino sugar. It’s a combination of glucose and glutamine, which is an amino acid. Glucosamine is a precursor for cartilage and has been known to cushion and lubricate the joints. It can also help prevent the breakdown of your joints and maintain your cartilage. It’s especially important for athletes who put a lot of stress on their joints. Other potential benefits of glucosamine: • It supports wound healing • It’s anti-inflammatory • It may help reduce pain • It may help improve varicose veins • Some studies show it can decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes • There is research on glucosamine improving longevity • It may help with inflammatory gut conditions • It may help increase heparin • It may help reduce edema and swelling • It may help with vascular migraines and cluster headaches • It may help with dysfunction in the blood-brain barrier • Some data suggests it could be good for seizures (other data suggests that large amounts could increase seizures) The amount of glucosamine you may want to consider would be between 500 to 1,000 mg three times per day. A certain version of glucosamine called glucosamine hydrochloride should be avoided.
