Because we do not fully grasp every role potassium plays, its importance is often underappreciated. Each cell relies on potassium to create the electrical charges needed for normal function, making it essential. It helps sustain a steady heart rhythm and assists the release of insulin to manage blood sugar.
If you worry about intake, consult your doctor. Healthy adults are advised to get 3,500 to 4,700 mg daily. Other strong sources include white beans, white and sweet potatoes, beets, spinach, watermelon, and tomato sauce. Two medium bananas supply about 900 mg, a strong start.
