Potassium is an electrolyte important for countering the effects of sodium and maintaining a healthy amount of alkalinity in the body. It's also involved in regulating the heart and other muscles, as well as your metabolism. Without enough potassium, bones and muscles can become weak, and you may experience fatigue or more serious health problems. While most people are deficient in potassium, it's easily corrected through supplementation, diet and reducing your sodium intake.
