Potassium
Potassium is a mineral found in many foods. Your body needs potassium to keep its electrical systems working properly. It helps with muscle contraction, heart function, blood pressure regulation and nerve transmission.
History
Potassium was first discovered by Sir Humphry Davy in 1807. The name comes from the Greek word for potash (potassium carbonate), which is derived from the Latin word for "to make soft." Potassium is also known as an alkali metal.

Safety
Potassium is a mineral that is essential for good health. It plays a key role in the functioning of the heart and kidneys, and it helps control your blood pressure. Potassium is found in many foods, including potatoes, bananas, citrus fruits, milk and yogurt. Your body also produces potassium naturally when it digests protein-rich foods such as meat or beans.
Potassium is important for nerve function (the ability for nerves to send messages). The brain uses about 20% of the body's energy supply; most of this energy comes from glucose (blood sugar) which has been stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen. A small amount of carbohydrate is converted into glucose by a process called gluconeogenesis; this process uses some amino acids as building blocks to make new proteins that can be used instead of glucose if needed by the body or other organs like muscle tissue too much protein than they need immediately may damage their cells' ability to absorb
Conclusion
Overall, potassium is an important mineral to keep in your diet. It can help regulate blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease, and prevent kidney stones.
