Banana and It's Potassium Benefits

Whenever i had the chance to go to the market and pick the food we will prepare for the following meal, i have to make sure i can get a banana to be served on the table. It may be too easy for us to take that for granted, right?  But really, this fruit is so much powerful because our body needs potassium which it's ultimate source is in banana.



 Potassium is a vital mineral for the function of all cells, tissues and organs in the human body--i.e., life as we know it. "We also know that potassium is important for controlling blood pressure, and there's a lot of evidence that it reduces your risk of stroke," says Walter C. Willett, MD, chair of the nutrition department at the Harvard School for Public Health. And, as many athletes are aware, it can help prevent muscle cramps and post-workout soreness.
