• High in calories and easily digested by the body's ideal if you used when break fasting. However, there are more special benefits; trees can reduce the risk of stroke burden, thanks to high potassium. Fruits are the main source of vitamins, especially vitamin C and minerals. It is, however, the energy content or low calories, because the burden is also low fat. However, there are exceptions, such as dates. The fat content in the dates can also be ignored. However, high carbohydrate make this fruit provided high energy as well. In fact, the highest among the large family of fruits. Other, dates contain nutrients essential for body functions to make more regular heart rate, activates muscle contractions, and helps organize blood pressure. That's why dates is so special. Moreover, some research shows high potassium foods can reduce the risk of stroke.

Enough 5 Pellet per day..!

* The research on patterns of food made to 859 men and women aged above 50 years in Northern California, USA, known, small differences in the patterns of food potassium concentration can predict the expected chance they died of stroke 12 years later. None of the highest dose of potassium (more than 3500 mg per day0 died from stroke. Conversely, those who regularly abstain from low potassium (less than 1950 mg per day) had a fatal stroke risk is much higher compared to other. Among those who consume the most low potassium consumption, died of stroke 2.6 times for men and 4.8 times for woman. The more potassium rich foods consumed more often less likely to suffer the stroke.

The researchers concluded with only one type of extra eating foods rich in potassium (at least 400 mg daily) reduced the risk of fatal can reach 40%. 400 mg potassium level is easy once you fill by eating about 65 g dry date only, or the equivalent of five particular dates. Foods high in potassium, according to Dr. Louis Tobian, Jr., Hypertension expert from the U.S. University of Minnesota, also helps lower blood pressure and may give additional strength to prevent stroke directly, as a blood pressure condition.

To prove it, Dr. Tobian an experiment on two groups of rats exposed to hypertension. One group of rats given high dietary potassium and other groups of normal potassium diet. The result is extraordinary. Among the group of mice that have a high potassium content, not even one brain bleeding. While 40% in the group of mice received normal potassium suffers mild stroke as evidenced by the bleeding of the brain.

From the results of the research, Dr. Tobian conclusion, the consumption of extra potassium to keep artery walls elastic and function remains normal. This situation makes the blood vessels are not easily damaged by high blood pressure. So clearly, dates that have been traditionally served as a meal to break their fast in Ramadan, not the usual appetizers.  However, to ensure that the dates look positive, perhaps more remains to be proved through research.
