A nutritionist named two products that will strengthen blood vessels and slow down aging.
Dr. Lisa Afinskaya shared her recommendations on her Telegram channel.
The expert noted that today many people have a potassium deficiency in their bodies.
This mineral plays a vital role in the context of cardiovascular health.
If there is little potassium in the body, then there is an additional risk associated with blood pressure and stroke.
In addition, those who do not have problems with potassium do not develop edema. Potassium helps remove excess fluid from the body.
The most valuable source of potassium are bananas. One fruit contains up to 450 mg of this mineral. The daily norm for women is 2600 mg, for men – 3400 mg.
In addition, bananas are rich in fiber. It promotes good digestion.
The second product is less obvious. The nutritionist said that drinking cocoa helps to "postpone" old age.
All thanks to the content of flavanols. These substances slow down skin aging and at the same time reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
For reference
Vessels are elastic tubular structures in the human body.
