Postmenopausal women who eat foods with higher amounts of potassium may be at lower risk of stroke and death than women who consume less potassium-rich foods.

Potassium consumption lowers blood pressure and could prevent strokes. Some foods high in potassium include white and sweet potatoes, bananas and white beans.
