Although often ignored, potassium is vital; every cell uses it to create the electrical charge needed for proper function. It keeps your heartbeat steady and releases insulin to control blood sugar. Adults should aim for 3,500–4,700 mg daily. Two medium bananas supply about 900 mg, a strong start. Other rich sources include white beans, potatoes, beets, spinach, watermelon, and tomato sauce.
