Low magnesium is a huge factor in
hypertension because it helps to relax the smooth muscles of blood
vessels, resulting in less resistance to blood flow, lowering blood
pressure.
In addition, magnesium help optimize levels of the hormones norepinephrine, serotonin, and levels of nitric oxide that open blood vessels for better flow. It is interesting that synthetic hypertension drugs work by a similar mechanism, but have severe adverse side effects. According to Hypertension (March 1989) studies have shown that 625 mg per day caused significant decline in blood pressure similar to the best anti-hypertension drugs.

Research has also shown that low
magnesium causes and increased rate of heart disease and
atherosclerosis (plaque in the arteries).
There is also a link between control of
blood sugar and low magnesium. Such a deficiency impares the
secretion of insulin and reduces the ability of cells to respond to
the hormone, leading to insulin resistance. Magnesium supplementation
has been found to reduce glucose tolerance. The mineral also affects
cholesterol and triglycerides.
I am summarizing and quoting
significantly from an article by Dr. David Brownstein titled Heal
Your Body Through the Magic of Magnesium, written in December 2012.
The comments about vegetables, chlorophyl and plants are mine.
