Especially in today's fast-paced world, complaints such as palpitations, heart palpitations and heart palpitations are no longer isolated cases. According to a recent survey, one in five of the 2,500 respondents have experienced these symptoms themselves. "Mental strain and stress" topped the list of specific diagnoses in medical practice with around 30 percent.1
Micronutrients suddenly missing
Julia K. (39), a mother of two, also suffers from recurring palpitations and heart palpitations. Due to the double burden and the high demands she places on herself to give 100 percent both professionally and privately, she feels permanently exhausted and stressed.
Prolonged stress deprives the body of important micronutrients. The stress hormone cortisol is increasingly released by the adrenal cortex in stressful situations. At the same time, the aldosterone level increases and promotes the excretion of potassium via the kidneys. The body's own "reabsorption" of magnesium into the blood is disrupted by the rise in aldosterone levels. This results in a lack of potassium and magnesium in the body, which can lead to cardiac arrhythmia.
Potassium and magnesium are important
These two electrolytes are important for the heart as they regulate and stabilize the regular heartbeat. However, the body can only store potassium and magnesium to a limited extent, as the two micronutrients are constantly excreted in the urine. To ensure a sufficient and balanced supply, it is advisable to take potassium and magnesium, for example in the form of Tromcardin® complex, available exclusively from pharmacies. This keeps your heart in sync even in stressful situations.
