You will get a boost of potassium if you eat a banana every day
You will get a boost of potassium if you eat a banana every dayWhile eating a banana every day comes with many benefits, registered dietitian Amanda A. Kostro Miller told The List that one of these said benefits stands apart from the rest.
“You’ll get a [daily] boost of potassium,” Kostro Miller told The List. She continued, explaining, “Potassium is a nutrient that we get in the foods we eat. Our bodies use potassium for fluid regulation, blood pressure, nerve signaling, and heart rhythm.” That’s a lot of work for one little mineral!
However, not everyone should eat bananas every day with wild abandon. In fact, Kostro Miller advises to consult your healthcare professional if you have specific kinds of conditions. “If you have chronic kidney disease and have been told by your renal dietitian to cut back on potassium, you may want to stay away from eating a banana daily,” she cautioned.
