Potassium can promote sodium metabolism, stabilize blood pressure, maintain myocardial function, participate in metabolism and maintain normal neuromuscular function and other health benefits. Like the common longan and lotus seed eight-treasure porridge, it can dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure.
Potassium can inhibit the absorption of sodium from the renal tubules and promote the excretion of sodium from the urine. At the same time, potassium can also counteract the adverse effects of sodium increasing blood pressure, and has a protective effect on blood vessel damage. Helps reduce the dosage of antihypertensive drugs; it can also prevent vascular sclerosis, maintain a good vascular environment, and reduce lipid adhesion. The maximum consumption of potassium is limited to about 2000 mg per day.
In daily diet, if sodium intake is too high, it will lead to potassium deficiency in the body. In summer, when the weather is hot and you sweat a lot, potassium will be excreted with sweat, and the body is prone to lack of potassium. You should eat more potassium-rich foods in moderation.
Sometimes foods with the same raw materials have different levels of potassium. For example, a bottle of orange juice contains a lot of potassium, but there is no potassium in a can of oranges. So, be careful when you eat it.
➊Peel the bananas and dice them; wash the glutinous rice. ➋ Put the glutinous rice in a pot and add some water to boil it into porridge, add in diced banana and mix well.
