A NEW study suggests that a diet rich in
foods that are loaded with potassium can
reduce stroke risk by 21 per cent and may
also lower heart disease risk.
The report is published in the March 1
online edition of the Journal of the
American College of Cardiology.
Good sources of potassium include bananas
and other fruits and vegetables, as well as
fish, poultry and dairy, the researchers
noted.
According to the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, sweet potato and tomato paste
top the list.
“The average dietary potassium intake in
most countries worldwide is much lower
than recommended by health authorities,
and increasing potassium intake may
provide protection against stroke and other
cardiovascular disorders, ” said lead
researcher Dr. Pasquale Strazzullo, a
professor of medicine at the Federico II
University of Naples Medical School, in Italy.
For the study, Strazzullo’s team pulled data
about potassium and cardiovascular disease
from 11 studies, which included a total of
247,510 men and women. The researchers
looked at what people in these studies
recalled eating in the past day.
This process is called a meta-analysis, in
which researchers look for trends in the
data that may support a particular
conclusion, even when these data were not
the main point of the study.
They found that people who consumed
1.64 grams of potassium or more a day had
a 21 percent lower risk of stroke and also
tended to have a lower risk of any
cardiovascular disease.
Strazzullo noted that five or more servings
of fruits and vegetables will provide the
amount of potassium needed to get this
protective effect.
“The protective effect of potassium against
the risk of stroke and other vascular events
may in part be traced to its blood pressure-
lowering effect, particularly in hypertensive
individuals and in those with elevated
sodium intake, ” Strazzullo said.
However, other processes appear to be at
work as well, he added. For example,
potassium may be involved in slowing the
process of atherosclerosis and preventing
the thickening of the walls of arteries, all of
which can lead to cardiovascular disease.
