In addition, consuming more potassium can also prevent stroke. A study conducted on 9800 patients after 20 years of investigation found that there is a close relationship between stroke and potassium. If you supplement more than 1,500 mg of potassium/day, the risk of stroke will be much lower. Potassium can lower blood pressure, and if blood pressure is well controlled, the risk of stroke will naturally decrease.
