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. It also controls the flow of nutrients through cell walls.
Potassium also helps in transmission of electrochemical impulses needed by
the human nervous system. Potassium is also needed to maintain a stable blood pressure
level.
