It is said that daily use of potassium-enhanced salt can reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular disease and stroke.
After 3 years of research for about 2,000 people, experts at Taiwan Academy of Biomedical Sciences said the salt that combines sodium chloride (common salt) with potassium chloride will help the body reduce sodium absorption and increase potassium, reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular disease by 40%.
Some previous studies have also suggested that diets high in potassium such as raisins, bananas, watermelons, beans and potatoes help maintain healthy blood pressure.
Experts say eating potassium fortified salt is a convenient and quick way to increase the body's potassium.
However, experts also recommend that patients with kidney problems need to be cautious when using potassium-boosting salt and it is best to regularly check the amount of potassium in the body.
