Potassium

Potassium is thought to lower your risk of heart disease or stroke, and it works in concert with sodium to regulate the ideal fluid balance in your body. Unfortunately, many people get way too much sodium and not nearly enough potassium in their daily diets. Eat more bananas, leafy greens, raisins, and oranges to achieve a better ratio.

Aim for 4,700 mg of potassium per day unless you’ve got a baby on board. In that case you need to up the dose to 5,100 mg. Supplements can be very useful if you have trouble reaching that amount or take potassium-depleting diuretic medications for a heart condition. It’s hard to overdose, but too much potassium is not great for older people and those with kidney disease.
