Spinach
Stroke: Half a cup of cooked spinach contains more than 400mg of potassium. Potassium-rich foods have been confirmed by the FDA to stop strokes. Blood Pressure: Potassium also fights high blood pressure. Heart Health: Consuming the ideal amount of fiber daily (25g for women and 38g for men) has been shown by CDC studies to reduce levels of CRP, thus possibly lowering risk of heart attack as well. Half a cup of cooked spinach contains 4g of fiber. Spinach is also lutein rich. Lutein helps keep arteries clear of cholesterol blockages.
