10 reasons to fall in love with potatoes
(ARA) - Want to do something good for your heart? Find new ways to increase your intake of potassium. This nutrient may help reduce the risk of high blood pressure and promote heart health. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reports that diets containing foods that are a good source of potassium and that are low in sodium may help reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke.
Did you know potatoes are a good source of potassium and contain no sodium? In fact, one medium potato (5.3 ounces) with the skin on contains 620 mg of potassium. That's 18 percent of your daily requirement and more than a banana. Need more reasons to love potatoes? Read on.
1. Did you grow up listening to your mother tell you to eat your vegetables? Well, potatoes are vegetables, so eat away.
2. This one's simple: one medium-sized potato (5.3 oz.) has 110 calories and is fat- and cholesterol- free.
3. Potatoes (with the skin) are a good source of potassium. Research shows that potassium may help lower blood pressure, contributing to a heart-healthy diet.
