Eating three bananas cuts your risk of a stroke, scientists say.
科學家稱,每日吃三支香蕉有助于降低換上中風的危險幾率。
A banana for breakfast, one for lunch and one in the evening would provide enough potassium to reduce the chances of suffering a blood clot on the brain by around 21 per cent.
在早中晚三餐時分別吃一支香蕉,這將為人體提供豐富的鉀元素,從而使得大腦血管梗塞的風險降低21%。
The findings, by British and Italian researchers, suggest thousands of strokes could be prevented by the consumption of other potassium-rich foods such as spinach, nuts, milk, fish and lentils.
英國與意大利的研究人員發現并鼓勵大家用過食用例如菠菜、堅果、牛奶、魚類和小扁豆這樣含鉀豐富的食物來預防中風的發生。
Although some previous studies have suggested bananas could be important for controlling blood pressure and preventing strokes, results have not always been consistent.
盡管在之前的研究中發現,香蕉對于控制血壓和預防中風有著重要的作用,但該結果一直未被廣泛的認可。
In the latest research, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, scientists analysed data from eleven different studies - dating back to the mid-Sixties - and pooled the results to get an overall outcome.
科學家在最近分析了十一份不同報告的數據,其中最早的可追溯至上世紀六十電腦,由此得到了一個總結性的研究結果。
