Potassium is important to your body as it helps to control the nerves and muscles.

Potassium (K), is an alkali-metal element needed by
all plants and animals to live.

The mineral is important to your body as it helps to control the nerves and muscles.

• The mineral potassium is important to your body for a strong healthy nervous system, maintaining a regular heart beat and proper muscle contraction.
• Potassium nourishes the heart, kidneys, pancreas, muscles and the nerves.
• Potassium works with sodium to regulate the body's water balance.
• Potassium is very important to chemical reactions inside cells and it controls the flow of nutrients through cell walls.
• Potassium helps in the transmission of electrochemical impulses needed by the human nervous system.
• Potassium is also needed to maintain a stable blood pressure level.

Potassium released in the urine is about equal to the amount of potassium in the food and drink taken in.

The kidneys are important in controlling the amount that is released or taken in.

Potassium is most often lost from the body through increased release by the kidneys, the stomach and intestines, or the skin.

Increased kidney release may be caused by chemicals or drugs that increase passage of urine (diuretics), other drugs, or by kidney disorders.

Loss of potassium can also occur through vomiting, diarrhea, surgical drainage, or the long-term use of laxatives.

Loss through the skin is rare but can result from sweating during too much exercise when hot.

Foods that have potassium are whole grains, meat, beans (legumes), fruit, and vegetables.

Most of it is taken in through the stomach and intestines.
