A recent study published Journal Stroke claims, they are avidly consume fruit, vegetables, and dairy products are high in potassium content lower-risk suffering a stroke, compared to which mineral intake.
These findings are based on the results of an analysis of the 10 international study involving more than 200,000 volunteers aged secondary and adult.
Results of the study reveal, any increase of 1,000 milligrams (mg) potassium in your diet every day related to decrease the possibility of suffering a stroke of 11 percent over the next five to 10 years into the future.
According to Susanna Larsson, head of research of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, it would constitute a considerable benefit for everyone. This research, he said, did not immediately prove that potassium itself that provide positive benefits, but reinforces the evidence of previous research that this mineral may be helpful.
High potassium food which in General is known as a source of healthy food, such as beans, various fruits such as bananas, avocados, citrus, and green vegetables, and low fat milk.
Potassium is an electrolyte itself needed to maintain the balance of body fluids, and is also involved in the mechanism of action of nerves, muscle control, and blood pressure settings.
Various studies have indicated that a diet high in potassium helps maintain blood remains healthy and certainly heightened the tension may protect the body from heart disease and stroke.
In his studies, Larsson and his partner took nearly 270,000 people, and 8.695 people of which (one of 30 people) suffered a stroke. Decreased risk of stroke seen when there is an increase in intake of 1,000 mg of potassium per day after taking into account other factors such as age, habits, exercise, and smoking.
According to the researchers, the potassium is specifically associated with a decreased risk of ischemic stroke, caused by the blockage of the arteries of the brain. Ischemic Stroke reaches about 80 percent of strokes.
These findings are in line with a recent study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that followed more than 12,000 adults for the past 15 years. The researchers found that people who are consuming more sodium intake is low, but potasiumnya, it is risky to died of various diseases.
Potassium is a mineral that functions in the body to help balance the effect of sodium, keeping blood pressure, and helps the body release excess fluid. According to the CDC, in adults, the average should get no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. While for those aged over 50 years old and has high blood pressure, diabetes, or kidney disease, it is recommended to limit sodium intake to 1500 mg per day.
While the CDC recommend for potassium, adults to get 4,700 mg a day of food. However, in people with kidney disease and are currently taking any medication (such as hypertension) have to be careful. Too high levels of potassium in the blood can cause a condition called hiperkalemia, which can trigger heart rhythm disorders.
