How Potassium Salt Could Lower Stroke Risk
Recent research highlights the benefits of using potassium-enriched salt substitutes for individuals who have experienced a stroke. A study found that replacing regular salt with potassium-enriched substitutes led to a 14% reduction in recurrent stroke rates and a 21% decrease in stroke-related deaths. These substitutes help lower blood pressure by reducing sodium intake and adding potassium, which also has a blood vessel-widening effect. Experts suggest that this low-cost, simple intervention, when combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle, could significantly reduce stroke risks. Future research will further explore the long-term benefits of potassium salt substitutes for stroke prevention.
