00:00Want to slash your risk of heart failure and even death by almost 25%?
00:04Grab a banana, add some avocado, toss in a handful of spinach.
00:09A new study from Copenhagen University Hospital found that boosting potassium levels can dramatically improve heart health,
00:16even for people already at risk.
00:18In a trial with 1,200 heart patients, those who increased their potassium intake
00:23saw a 24% drop in hospital visits, irregular heartbeats, and even death.
00:28How? Potassium helps regulate heart rhythms and balances the sodium overload common in modern diets.
00:35But here's the problem. A third of teens and a quarter of adults in the UK are potassium deficient.
00:41Doctors say it's time to go back to basics, eat more fruits and veggies, ditch the ultra-processed junk.
00:47Spinach, bananas, avocados, fish, even fruit juice, all power-packed with potassium.
00:52And here's a shocker. Literally.
00:54People with implantable defibrillators who raised their potassium levels
00:59were less likely to need those life-saving jolts.
01:02Bottom line? Potassium isn't just for heart patients. It could save all of us.
