POTASSIUM REDUCES STROKE RISK IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN

摘要

Postmenopausal women who have a diet rich in potassium are less likely to suffer a stroke than women whose intake of the mineral is smaller, new research indicates. The observational study followed more than 90,000 postmenopausal women for an average of 11 years and has demonstrated that the participants who ate the most potassium-rich foods were 12% less likely to have a stroke than those who took in the least potassium.
