How Important Are Bananas

I once had a workmate who got hospitalized for not eating bananas (or so they say). At first, we’re just making fun out of it but got curious how serious is his sickness called hypokalemia -a condition with low-potassium. We stop joking about it when we found out how life-threatening it can be. Our bodies need potassium to promote muscle contractions, keep digestive system functioning and maintain a normal rhythm. Mild cases of hypokalemia can be treated by just eating bananas which is potassium-rich foods. Severe cases should be treated by a medical professional.

To prevent low potassium, Institute of medicine recommend adults to consume 4700 mg.per day. Many other types of food contain potassium like dairy products including milk and yogurts. Hypokalemia can be fatal so might as well check these  symptoms ;

1.         Muscle cramps

2.         Nausea

3.         Diarrhea

4.         Frequent urination

5.         Dehydrated

6.         Low blood pressure

7.         Paralysis

8.         Change of heart rhythm 

While bananas might be the poster child for potassium, there are several common foods rank with a higher level of potassium including baked potatoes. If the banana isn't a staple in our house, start adding it to your grocery list. Bananas are also helpful in overcoming depression due to high levels of tryptophan. Eaten in moderation, there are no significant side-effects associated with eating bananas.
