What is potassium?

Potassium is an essential mineral; that is, while our bodies require it to function, they can’t produce it themselves, so it must instead be obtained through dietary means. Maintaining a balanced level of potassium is essential to proper health as it plays a role in a wide range of vital processes. These include:

• building protein and muscle
• breaking down carbohydrates
• maintaining body growth
• controlling electrical activity in the heart
• regulating blood pressure.

What happens if I don’t get enough potassium?

Although potassium is readily available in many foods such as milk, meat, vegetables and some fruits, modern processing and cooking methods mean that even many of these do not provide a healthy amount of potassium.

People particularly at risk of potassium deficiencies include those who:

• take diuretics
• undergo frequent physical stress or exercise
• have health conditions that affect digestion such as Crohn’s disease
• do not eat well or suffer from an eating disorder
• smoke and drink regularly
• have overactive sweat glands.

Given its importance in our bodies, it is little surprise that potassium deficiency can have varied and severe effects such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, digestive disorders and even infertility — in fact, just a small deficiency can lead to muscle weakness and tiredness.
