Why you should eat potatoes

As the nutritionist explained, potatoes contain a large amount of potassium.

This microelement has a positive effect on the contractile function of the myocardium and the muscular layer of blood vessels.

Dianova advised baking potatoes in the oven or steaming them.

During regular cooking, some of the beneficial substances go into the water, the expert explained.

It is important to keep in mind that potassium can be harmful in chronic renal failure.

You can reduce the concentration of this microelement by soaking potatoes for 2-3 hours before cooking.

The expert also advised against eating potatoes on a daily basis: this way the body will receive a limited set of microelements.

If there are no contraindications, potatoes can be eaten 3-4 times a week.

The optimal single serving of potatoes is 100 grams for women and 150 grams for men.
