More Potassium for Salt Lovers

Hello!

Here's some good news for folks who love their salt: Increasing Potassium helps your blood pressure as much as lowering sodium. Research from Harvard Medical School found that it's the ratio of sodium to potassium--rather than the absolute amount of sodium--that most determines your risk for high blood pressure, stroke and cardiovascular disease.

So, where do you find potassium? In all the healthiest foods: Veggies, fresh fruit, nonfat yogurt, and more veggies, veggies, veggies.

The good news is, now you can justify adding a little salt to those veggies.

Have a good week,

Jill
