Pottassium Rich food is part of every cell in the body, and life would be impossible without it.

potassium is often taken for granted, in spite of its role in maintaining fluid balance, and keeping your brain, nerves, heart, and muscles functioning normally on a constant basis.

Potassium is important to eat enough potassium every day to feel your best and to help prevent certain chronic conditions.

Falling short on potassium on a regular basis could jeopardize your long-term health in more ways than one.

Home cooking determines potassium levels in produce, too. Boiling depletes potassium.

For example, a boiled potato has almost half the potassium of a baked potato. To preserve potassium, eat fruits and vegetables raw, or roast, or lightly steam them.

When dining out, increase potassium by ordering a salad, extra steamed or roasted vegetables, bean-based dishes, fruit cups, and low-fat milk instead of soda.

However, the majority of Americans don’t get enough potassium from their diets. This is mainly due to a lack of fruits and vegetables in the typical Western diet. In the United States, it’s recommended that healthy adults consume 4,700 mg daily.

Getting enough dietary potassium is essential for bone and heart health. It’s vital for people with high blood pressure, and it may decrease heart disease and stroke risk.
