Potatoes Can Reduce Blood Pressure: Getting Doctors and Nurse to Wash Their Hands

from Dr. Gwen's Women's Health Podcasts · host Gwen Morse PhD, RN

Just a couple of servings of potato a day can reduce blood pressure in obese or overweight people with high blood pressure. Best choices are purple potatoes, cooked in the microwave and without all the "fixin's". Changing warning signs that focus on patient safety such as "Wash Your Hands to Protect Your Patients" from "Wash Your Hands to Protect Yourself" may increase handwashing compliance among healthcare workers according to new research.
