love magnesium. Big fan. With such a calcium push in the USA,
and not eating as much salad as I want. [I like salad], I take
magnesium a few times a week just to keep in balance.
I don't worry about potassium so much as that shows up in foods
that try to lower sodium content a lot. But magnesium
deficiency, I believe, is a strong source of sudden death by
heart attack along with an excess of calcium.
[I treat them as opposites, as calcium tends to constrict or
tighten and magnesium tends to relax, even though they're not
strictly opposites in every way] I do the same with
zinc/copper. Zinc=male, copper=female. (zinc leads to
testosterone, copper leads to estrogen). As I drink a lot of
coffee (source of copper), I balance it out with zinc a few
times a week. I don't know a lot of strong sources of zinc
outside of pumpkin seeds, but thankfully zinc tablets are really
