Magnets have been promoted through history as having all kinds of mystical healing qualities. Though most scientists think those 'qualities' are bunk, it looks like there might be a way to use magnets to prevent heart attacks and strokes.
Both heart attacks and strokes are the result of blood flow blockages. Heart attacks happen when material, much of it cholesterol, builds up on the walls of the coronary arteries. It blocks the flow of blood, and the muscles of the heart are starved for oxygen and die. Strokes happen when blood clots lodge in blood vessels of the brain, and block oxygenating blood to brain tissue. Both are very serious events, and both could be mitigated by an unusual property of magnets.
