We may only think of potassium in the
context of bananas because we know these fun yellow fruits have a lot of it. But
what exactly does this nutrient do for us and how do we know if we don’t have

Potassium is one of the electrolyte
minerals, along with magnesium, calcium, sodium, chloride, and hydrogen
phosphate. Electrolytes are responsible for conducting electricity through the
body. Potassium is a positive ion that regulates heartbeat and muscle function
and is present in every cell in the body.
Left untreated, potassium deficiency
can cause a host of other health problems.
