Greetings to you,
Included is a super-healthy chart below with the top 10 potassium rich foods. Potassium is found in many fruits and vegetables, so the main source of a potassium deficiency would be not eating enough of these.
Studies have showed that potassium lowers blood pressure, improves blood vessel function, reduces risk of stroke, strengthens muscles, helps preserve bone density, prevents kidney stones and remedies insomnia.
One recent study from the Journal “Sleep” researched the effects of potassium supplements on sleep quality. The researchers gathered data from wrist monitors and notes made in sleep diaries. Normal young males on a low-potassium diet participated in the study. After one week of taking potassium supplements, there were significant improvements in their quality of sleep and less waking up during the night.
One of the healthiest, highest sources of potassium is the banana, which contains 400 milligrams. Other good sources are avocados, prunes, spinach, sunflower seeds and almonds.
This health news is shared with you by Nutrition Breakthroughs, maker of the original calcium and magnesium based sleep aid Sleep Minerals II, as well as Joints and More, the natural solution for joint relief, aches and pains, and stronger hair and nails.
