| Taking Banana regularly may be a preventive measure for stroke.According to a study carried out by Dr. Deborah M. Green, M D of Neuroscience Institute at the Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, – People with low amount of Potassium in thier diet have increased risk of stroke .People whose potassium intake is low are 1.5 times more prone to have a stroke than those with high intake of potassium. Low intake of potassium means taking less than 2.4 gm of potassium in a day and high intake is more than 4.0 gm per day.
