Potassium and Digestive Health
-
Potassium is critical for maintaining fluid balance and muscle function in the digestive tract. Low potassium levels can lead to constipation and sluggish digestion. Increasing potassium-rich foods like orange juice and potatoes can improve digestion by supporting smooth muscle contractions. A study found that individuals with higher potassium intake had 25% better digestion and reduced constipation symptoms.
