It was found that higher dietary potassium (estimated from urinary excretion or dietary recall) was associated with lower blood pressure levels, regardless of sodium intake.<\/p>\n<p>-It was also observed that when the dietary potassium levels are high, more salt and water is excreted by the kidneys, which also increases potassium excretion.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">-As per the study, eating potassium-rich foods such as sweet potatoes, avocados, spinach, beans, <\/span>bananas<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">, and coffee were found to lower the blood pressure levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>-Findings were published in the\u00a0<em>American Journal of Physiology &#8212; Endocrinology and Metabolism<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Source: The\u00a0American Journal of Physiology &#8212; Endocrinology and Metabolism<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24446\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/rsz_1shutterstock_616213577.jpg\" alt=\"chemist online shopping\" width=\"630\" height=\"340\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[75,77,100,123,202],"class_list":["post-24444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1mg-news","tag-cardiac","tag-cardiovascular-disorders","tag-diet-tips","tag-healthy-eating","tag-vitamins-minerals-nutrients"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 -
