Foods That Lower Your Risk of Stroke

by Power User Just Jeff on September 02, 2011

New research indicates that if older adults want to lower their risk of getting a stroke, one of the best things they can do is eat a lot of high-potassium foods.

That would be things like baked potatoes with the skin, cooked spinach, orange juice, bananas, yogurt, acorn squash, raisins and beans.

People whose diet contains plenty of these foods may be less likely to suffer a stroke than those who get little of the mineral, according to a new study reported in the journal Stroke. The Swedish researchers analyzed 10 international studies involving more than 200,000 middle-aged and older adults.

The researchers found that across all the studies,stroke risk decreased as people’s reported potassium intake went up. For every 1,000 mg. increase in daily potassium, the odds of suffering a stroke in the next five to 14 years dropped by 11 percent.

Great writer up, Just Jeff. If stroke is caused by high blood pressure, then pomegranates too could be included in the list.

It is a very powerful fruit in controlling blood pressure.
