🥑 POTASSIUM: WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?
Potassium is an essential mineral that helps your body maintain normal heart rhythm, muscle function, nerve signals and fluid balance. 💚
But maintaining the right level is important!
⚠️ High potassium can disturb the heart’s electrical rhythm and may be dangerous, sometimes without obvious symptoms.
⚠️ Low potassium can cause muscle weakness, cramps, constipation and abnormal heart rhythms.
🥗 Potassium is found in foods such as bananas, tomatoes, potatoes, leafy greens, beans and lentils.
🩺 If you have kidney disease, your potassium needs may be different. Some medicines can also affect potassium levels. Do not start potassium supplements or potassium-based salt substitutes without medical advice.
💚 Remember: Potassium is essential—but the right level matters.
