After the calcium and phosphorus, potassium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. It is important to include enough potassium in the diet as it helps maintain normal pressure inside and outside of cells, regulates water balance in the body and participates, among other things, in the mechanism of contraction and muscle relaxation. These types of diets high in potassium are recommended in diets of high performance: athletes, people with heart problems, in cases of constipation or to strengthen the nervous system. Its deficiency may cause muscle weakness, stomach distension, constipation, aches, vomiting, irritability, and irregular heart rate.

The following diets are particularly rich in potassium:

Contents

  • Banana Cake
  • Guacamole with Sesame
  • Seaweed Agar-Agar Sweet
  • Pepper rice
  • Whole cereals bars

  • Salt
  • 2 cups of milk

Preparation

  1. Beat the eggs with sugar, add the mashed banana and mix well, add oil and flour sifted with baking soda, oats, baking powder and salt alternately with milk.

    Potassium is an important mineral, I thought that just eating bananas you could have right level of potassium intake but well including more foods that contain another minerals and vitamins is even a better idea to maintain a healthy diet every day, so thanks for commenting these recipes

    I’m super glad you didn’t include all banana recipes. I know I get a lot of cramps, and every always tells me to eat a banana! But after about one banana during the day, I have had my fill, so it’s really good to see that there are so many other ways to get potassium through natural dietary sources.
