Looking for food that can help in shedding extra pounds and reducing stress? Try this vegetable that my mother used to make every weekend for me. She also made sure that I finish a bowl every time.

Blood Pressure

Lotus stem has a good amount of potassium which ensures a proper balance between the fluids in the body. It also counteracts the effect of sodium in our bloodstreams. Potassium relaxes the blood vessels and lessens the contraction and rigidity. It also helps in increasing blood flow and reduces the strain on the cardiovascular system.
