Potassium is an important mineral for the body, it functions as an electrolyte regulating fluid balance, nerve signals and muscle contractions.

Potassium is the third most abundant mineral in the body
and conducts electricity, which is important for many processes throughout the body.

Interestingly, a potassium-rich diet is linked to many powerful health benefits. It may help reduce blood pressure and water retention, protect against stroke and help prevent osteoporosis and kidney stones

An analysis of 11 studies with 247,510 participants found that people who ate the most potassium had a 21% lower risk of stroke. They also found that eating a diet rich in this mineral was linked to a reduced risk of heart disease

studies also show that a potassium-rich diet may help prevent osteoporosis by reducing how much calcium the body loses through urine.

Foods like apricot, spinach, potato, avocado, tomato, yogurt, cashew, chicken and salmon are all rich in potassium.

🍑Why is nutrition important?🍑

Nutrition is the biochemical and physiological process by which an organism uses food to support its life. It includes ingestion, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism and excretion. Understanding nutrition and paying attention to what you eat can help you maintain or improve your health. Maintaining proper nutrition can:

🍑 Decrease risk of heart attack and diabetes.

🍑Control weight, BMI and body composition.

🍑Improve sleep.

🍑Increase energy and mental clarity.

🍑Maintain healthy bones and teeth.

🍑Improve overall health and well-being.

The effective management of food intake and nutrition are both key to good health. Smart nutrition and food choices can help prevent disease.

🤸‍♀️Why is movement important?🤸‍♀️

From your brain to your joints, moving every day has the power to improve every part of your body. And it’s not just about high-impact, sweat-inducing exercise either. It’s simple – whether you choose to implement small movements into your routine or try a new activity like cycling or Yoga, increasing your daily mobility can help upgrade your overall health.

🤸‍♀️Muscles: By moving, you are strengthening your muscles, which improves stability, balance, and coordination. Don’t forget, stretching helps maintain your muscle health as well. 

🤸‍♀️Bones: Movement helps build more durable, dense bones. Bone-building activities like resistance training, weight-bearing exercises (jogging, walking), and balance training (Yoga) can support better bone density.

🤸‍♀️Joints: The more you exercise and move your joints, the stronger the supporting muscles become, leading to less pain and more range of motion and stability.

🤸‍♀️Brain: Research shows that exercise may stimulate the production of brain chemicals norepinephrine and dopamine, which energize and elevate mood. Walking 30-40 minutes a day three times per week can help “regrow” the structures of the brain linked to cognitive decline.

🤸‍♀️Heart: Start moving to improve your heart health. Exercise has been shown to protect against nearly every type of acquired chronic cardiovascular disease. The physiological benefits of exercise on the heart include increased blood filling and pumping ability as well as improved oxygenation.

🤸‍♀️Lungs: Exercise improves your cardiorespiratory endurance. You don’t have to perform high-intensity movement. Instead, try Yoga – it still gets your lungs going but at a more comfortable pace. 

Just move and avoid inactivity! Find something or several activities you love to do and commit to them daily.
