Potassium and Your HealthWithout enough potassium, your body can’t work properly. Potassium is a mineral and an electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance, moves nutrients in and out of cells, and assists in the proper functioning of your heartbeat, muscles, and nerves.According to the ODS, the adequate adult intake for potassium ranges from 2,400 to 3,600 milligrams (mg) a day, depending on your age and sex. Adequate intake means the amount needed to meet nutritional needs without leading to a deficiency. However, the amount to aim for based on a 2,000-calorie diet — the daily value, or DV — is…
These receptors are abundant in brain regions responsible for memory, decision-making, and emotional regulation, such as the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and anterior cingulate cortex.
