Potassium (The Overlooked Mineral)
When people think electrolytes, sodium gets all the attention — but potassium is just as critical and often under-consumed.
Potassium helps regulate:
• Muscle contractions
• Nerve signaling
• Hydration balance
• Blood pressure
• Heart rhythm
Highly processed diets tend to be low in potassium-rich whole foods. Here are some foods to emphasize:
• Sweet potatoes
• Avocados
• Spinach
• Beans
• Bananas
• Coconut water
Whole, colorful foods are the best way to restore this important mineral.
