Potassium is a multifunctional macronutrient that controls (together with Sodium) proper muscle contraction and heart rhythm.
It regulates the balance of water, fluids, and minerals inside and outside the cells; participates in protein synthesis and the conversion of sugars into glycogen; activates many enzymes involved in energy metabolism; is essential for nerve impulse transmission and blood pressure control (mitigating the effects of sodium);
It helps maintain the correct acid-base balance (together with chloride) and regulates water retention.
It reduces the risk of kidney stones and the possibility of bone tissue loss (which occurs during aging); it aids memory.
Generally, an adult should consume at least 3 grams of potassium per day through diet (recommended by LARN, the Reference Intake Levels of Nutrients and energy for the Italian population). This amount can be increased to 5 grams for pregnant women, while 800 milligrams are sufficient for children under three years old.
When a deficiency of this mineral occurs, the first evident signs are muscle weakness and chronic fatigue.
