Potassium – 4700 mg per day Supports the muscles and the nerves
Most people are deficient in potassium because they only eat 1 ½ cups of vegetables per day. Potassium supports healthy muscle health and repair as well as supports the nervous system and they ability to keep anxiety at bay. If you eat a diet with moderate to high intake of sugar, alcohol, and caffeine, your body will actually need more potassium per day because these are potassium blockers, meaning your body won’t absorb potassium like someone who doesn’t consume as much sugar, alcohol, or caffeine. If you are more stressed or anxious, you will need to eat more potassium in your diet as your body will lose potassium when your body is in this state.
Cognitive benefits – Potassium helps with the healthy functioning of the nervous system. The brain is filled with nerves, therefore, if you have the right amount of potassium in your body your cognitive functioning will be increased.

However, if you don’t have the right amount of potassium, you will feel foggy and disoriented. Potassium can help take you out of a fight or flight mode. It’s great for people who are stressed and need to be calmed down. Potassium also helps to lift people up and make a person less worried, irritable, or less fearful.
