Health Benefits of Strawberries

Control Blood Pressure

Thanks to a high level of potassium, strawberries can benefit those people with a high risk of high blood pressure. Once absorbed, potassium can work as a buffer and offset the negative effects of sodium in your body. This helps lower high blood pressure and regulate this important measurement. It is important to know that a low intake of potassium and a high intake of sodium are major risk factors for high blood pressure. Ideally, a typical adult should take in around 4,7 grams of potassium on a daily basis. [6]
