A recent study published this year has revealed a diet rich in foods that are loaded with potassium can reduce your risk for a stroke by 21% and may also lower your risk of heart disease.
Potassium is an important mineral that is necessary for the body to maintain the balance of pH levels in our body. It is also involved in regulating our blood pressure, bone mass, nervous system, muscle function, and heart, kidney, and adrenal functions.
Potassium deficiency can result in hypokalemia. Symptoms include increase in blood pressure, heart irregularities, hypertension, muscular weakness, muscle cramps and constipation. An early sign of potassium deficiency can be recognised by twitching or cramping of the right side of the body, e.g twitching of the eye.
