Bananas and broccoli could help lower blood pressure: University of Waterloo study

New modeling studies suggest that ratios of potassium to sodium intake can help regulate blood pressure

Excessive dietary sodium increases blood pressure, while a high potassium diet has the opposite effect. The underlying mechanism is alleviated by sex and includes multiple organs and tissues. How do high potassium-induced alternatives in renal function differ between men and women with lower blood pressure? To answer these questions, a duo of researchers at the [...] Source The post New modeling studies suggest that ratios of potassium to sodium…
