Banana in
diet - prevention from Stroke
Taking Banana regularly may be a
preventive measure for stroke.
According to a study carried out
by Dr. Deborah M. Green, M D of Neuroscience Institute at the
Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, - People with
low amount of Potassium in thier diet have increased risk of stroke
.
People whose potassium intake is
low are 1.5 times more prone to have a stroke than those with high
intake of potassium. Low intake of potassium means taking less than
2.4 gm of potassium in a day and high intake is more than 4.0 gm per
day.
Other studies have also shown
that low intake may be associated with increased risk for stroke.
