Magnesium diet is often advised in primary hypertension. It is a diet, excluding meat, fish, salt, and has a restricted fluid intake. Simultaneously with these restrictions, magnesium diet involves consuming a large number of products with high magnesium content.
Magnesium diet includes three successive daily menus. The patient should keep to each menu for 3-4 days. These menus are characterized by their magnesium content, each of them containing 0.8 to 1.2 grams of magnesium.
Experts say that 12 days of magnesium diet result in:
- cholesterol lowering
- vascular tone regulation
- increased urine excretion from the body.
Menus on magnesium diet differ from each other by the caloric value and magnesium content. It is recommended to alternate these three menus until your blood pressure normalizes.

If the magnesium diet has not helped to reduce weight and normalize blood pressure, the patient can be prescribed Duromine weight loss drug for promoting weight reduction. Duromine weight loss drug is indicated to obese people with hypertension, when harm, caused by Duromine, is much less, than the harm from overweight.
While hypertensive patient is taking Duromine diet capsules, he is recommended to control his blood pressure and heart rate. Patient on Duromine should stop taking these diet pills, if his blood pressure is constantly high.
It should be noted that Duromine helps reducing weight, but it is not an alternative for the treatment of other diseases. Therefore, hypertensive patients must continue taking antihypertensive drugs during drug-therapy with Duromine.
Given that blood pressure normalizes simultaneously with fat amount lowering, the patient might need to reduce the daily dose of antihypertensive drugs, while he is taking Duromine capsules.
Retail pharmacies sell Duromine only by prescription. You can buy Duromine without a prescription on an online pharmacy. If you’ve never used Duromine for weight loss, you can ask your questions via email.
