3. Potassium may minimize the risk of stroke
Studies also indicate that following a diet abundant in potassium can easily lower the risk of stroke. And while we already know that consuming potassium-rich foods can lower your blood pressure, a high potassium intake may also prevent what doctors call arterial stiffness (a common risk factor for atherosclerosis).
According to a recent study, those who have a higher potassium intake benefit from a decreased risk of ischemic strokes. Another study pointed out that eating more potassium-rich foods regularly may minimize the risk of having a stroke. So, are you ready to add more potassium-rich foods to your diet? (*Rest assured, we will expose the best sources of potassium later on.)
