Eat healthy, Live Healthy| Potassium Importance in The Body
Potassium is a mineral that helps regulate the balance of fluids, minerals inside and outside cells in the body, helps muscles contract, and helps maintain normal blood pressure by reducing the effects of sodium. With age, potassium can also reduce the risk of recurrent kidney stones and bone loss.
According to the rules issued by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences inspire adults to ingest at least 4,700 milligrams of potassium per day. This is nearly twice as much as best of us spend.
Important Sources of Potassium
The most significant dietary sources of potassium are grains, meat, fruits, and vegetables.
Health Benefits of Potassium
Potassium is an essential mineral for normal body growth and maintenance. It provides us health benefits like:
Stimulates Neural Activity
It shows the main role in maintaining regular levels of brain function. High potassium levels allow more oxygen to reach the brain, stimulate nerve activity and improve cognitive function. People say that banana brain food has a good reason. They contain this impressive mineral content.
Stabilizes Blood Sugar
Reduced potassium causes blood sugar to fall. Lower blood sugar can cause headaches, anxiety, tremors, sweating, and weakness. Sodium and Potassium chloride intakes can immediately alleviate this condition.
Reduces Muscle Disorders
The adequate concentration of these minerals is essential for regular contractions and muscle relaxation. Most of the potassium ions in the human body are located in muscle cells. It keeps ideal nerve and muscle function and helps keep our response fast because it stimulates the neural connections between the brain and muscles.
Prevents Cramps
Muscle spasms are a common result of low potassium levels in the blood and are called hypokalemia. If you eat bananas every day, you can easily prevent muscle spasms because bananas contain a lot of potassium.
Enhances Bone Health
The benefits of potassium can even improve bone health. This mineral has certain properties that can neutralize various acids in the body, helping to maintain and retain calcium, giving it bone strength.
