A notably high amount of potassium is found in dates; this mineral, classified as an electrolyte, works in conjunction with sodium to regulate body fluid levels and therefore blood pressure. in those with existing hypertension, increased potassium consumption may decrease blood pressure and therefore even lower heart disease and stroke risk.
