Because potassium’s role is not fully understood, it is often overlooked. Every cell relies on potassium to create the electrical charge it needs to work, making this mineral essential. Potassium steadies heart rhythm and triggers insulin release to manage blood sugar. Healthy adults should get 3,500–4,700 mg of potassium daily. White beans, potatoes, beets, spinach, watermelon, and tomato sauce are other strong sources, but two medium bananas already provide about 900 mg.
