One Mineral You Are Probably Not Getting Enough Of
Our bodies are seriously amazing and help us to do so much...when they are fueled and cared for the RIGHT WAY!
This is why we need to pay attention to little nuances in our diets, like MICRO-nutrients - our vitamins and minerals! While I'm ALL about macros, our MICROS are just as important.
When it comes to micro-nutrients, there is one mineral that many of us do not get enough of. It's considered an essential nutrient that can cure blood pressure, reduce anxiety and stress and many other health disorders. Do you know which mineral this could be?
This mineral is found in the foods you eat. It’s considered an essential nutrient that can cure blood pressure, reduce anxiety and stress, as well as improve other health disorders. So what is it?
Drum roll please……..
IT IS Potassium!!
Most of us do not get enough potassium due to diets high in sodium. When your diet is high in sodium, it causes your potassium levels to be low. This can also lead to bloating! We definitely don’t want that!
There are many health benefits of potassium, from reducing stress and anxiety to keeping brain function at a normal level. High levels of potassium allow more oxygen to reach the brain, which stimulates neural activity and increase cognitive function. Total WIN!!
If you’re looking to boost your metabolism, consider adding more potassium into your diet. Potassium assists in the metabolic processing of proteins, carbs and fats. It also helps to regulate various hormones in your body, including stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline.
Potassium can be found in citrus fruits, vegetables, salmon, chicken, almonds, avocados, coconut water and of course bananas.
If you’re looking for a simple base salad that is high in potassium try adding greens, beet greens, tomatoes and avocado with a delicious Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing.

3 Tbsp nutritional yeast
