Believe it or not normal levels of Potassium in our bodies is very important. Why? Because the Natural Potassium that is present in our bodies will keep the Heart beating. It is a proven fact that those who are very active in sports, this could be Basketball, Football, Soccer or Running, if the Potassium is very low in the body and the heavy exercise on the body uses up all the remainder of the Potassium, then the heart will quit beating and the person will die. No matter how one may try to revive this person, it will not work because of the lack of Potassium in the body. It is not uncommon for a Runner to run 26 miles and then at the end of the race they will drink a lot of water and then drop dead. Had they eaten a couple of Bananas before the race and also the day before the race then the runner would have been OK.
Bananas is one of the best foods that a coach could give to his players to prevent an accidental death caused by not enough Potassium in the body. Bananas are nature's Vitamin Pill and they are high in Vitamins A,B and C and they are very rich in Potassium and Pectin. The eating of Bananas would prevent any runner from an accidental death. Other heath benefits that comes from eating foods that are high in Potassium are: Potassium will greatly help to lower the Blood Pressure and prevent Stroke. It helps the Muscles and the Nerves to function properly. It helps to maintain Fluid Balance in the body. It helps the body to better absorb the natural Vitamins and Minerals that are found in the body. CO-Q10, Vitamin D-3 and Vitamin F will also help the body to absorb the natural Vitamins and Minerals. Also the high levels of the natural Potassium will help to prevent Cancer from growing in our bodies.
