Bananas and Avocados Can Prevent Heart Attacks


    October 23, 2017 •


    Inadequate potassium and/or magnesium may increase your risk of cardiovascular diseases, but eating one banana and an avocado every day may prevent one of the precursors of the disease: hardening of the arteries
    A new study showed that vascular calcification was relieved in animal studies; mice given the highest levels of potassium had more pliable arteries
    One study shows that intracellular concentrations of magnesium and potassium are closely related, and their ratios in your cells involved in causing symptoms of cardiac arrhythmias due to hypokalemia, aka low potassium, and, arguably, other heart-related disorders
    Bananas are high in potassium, and avocados contain impressive amounts of magnesium, so they as well as other foods can go a long way toward preventing and alleviating heart-related issues such as high blood pressure and heart disease
