Potassium fulfills a long list of jobs in the body, including helping to regulate water balance (via the active transport pump), maintaining pH balance, maintaining blood pressure levels already within the normal range and supporting neuromuscular function.
Although there’s plenty of potassium in many natural foods, such as bananas, commercial over-processing often results in the loss of potassium and increases the sodium content. The ratio may be as high as 4:1 in favor of sodium.
In addition, certain diseases and physical exertion can also deplete the body of potassium.
Adequate potassium levels are essential for the body’s active transport pump, which moves nutrients into cells.
Certain herbs provide essential potassium and other minerals as well, including alfalfa, horsetail herb, horseradish root, white cabbage and Brussels sprouts, as well as kelp and dulse, mineral-rich sea vegetation.
