You will help maintain healthy blood pressure
Most people know excess sodium can raise blood pressure, but fewer realize potassium keeps sodium in check. Your kidneys balance fluid levels by regulating sodium and potassium. Too much sodium and too little potassium cause the body to retain fluid, pushing blood pressure higher. Sadly, fewer than 2 percent of U.S. adults meet the potassium guideline, leaving many at risk for hypertension. Two bananas a day can help restore this balance and support normal blood pressure.
