Potassium is a mineral and an electrolyte. It helps your muscles work, including the muscles that control your heartbeat and breathing. Potassium comes from the food you eat. Your body uses the potassium it needs.The extra potassium that your body does not need is removed from your blood by your kidneys. When you have kidney disease, your kidneys cannot remove extra potassium in the right way, and too much potassium can stay in your blood.

When you have too much potassium in your blood, it is called high potassium, or hyperkalemia.

When people think of potassium in foods, they often think first of bananas. And yes, bananas are indeed a good source of the nutrient, but there are plenty of other colorful, tasty, and nutritious ways to work the right amount of potassium into a healthy diet.

But did you know that some of seafoods we often consumes, especially fish, are high of potassium. They are Tuna, Halibut, Cod, Trout, Rockfish. All of these fish are good for the body and it’s easy to get it in the market which come with affordable prices.. So it’s not too difficult for us to reach a good potassium intake everyday.
