Magnesium and Potassium Linked to Fewer Strokes
A recent study of 180,000 women (The Nurses’ Health Study) revealed that women who ate the most foods with magnesium and potassium had the lowest risk of having a stroke.

Going meatless on Mondays is one way to get started (www.meatlessmondays.com is a website that gives great information and recipes for meatless meals).
