SODIUM & POTASSIUM INTAKE
Sodium intake 3-5 g per day plus potassium intake of 4.6 g per day, lowest risk of death
People consuming 3000 to 5000 mg of sodium per day plus a high potassium intake (greater than 4600 mg per day) had the lowest risk of death during an average follow-up of 8.2 years according to data from 103,5700 people from 18 countries.

People consuming the most potassium relative to sodium had a 30% lower risk of ischemic stroke
The one-fifth of people consuming the most potassium relative to sodium were 30% less likely to have an ischemic stroke (where a blood clot interrupts the blood supply in the brain) during a 24 year follow-up than the one-fifth of people consuming the least potassium relative to sodium.

POTASSIUM & SODIUM
People consuming the most potassium were 35% less likely to die from coronary heart disease
The top one-fifth consumed an average of 3363 mg of potassium per day versus 1720 mg per day for the bottom one-fifth.
The one-fifth of people consuming the most sodium versus the one-fifth consuming the least were:
- 42 percent more likely to have cardiovascular disease
- 55 percent more likely to have a stroke of any kind
- 104 percent more likely to have an ischemic stroke (2X as likely).
The top one-fifth consumed 6523 mg of sodium per day versus 2322 mg per day for the bottom one-fifth. Read the entire article | Email this article
