Potassium
TL;DR
Potassium regulates blood pressure by balancing sodium levels, supports heart rhythm, and aids muscle function, preventing cramps. It promotes nerve signaling and fluid balance, reducing stroke risk.
Overview
Potassium regulates blood pressure by balancing sodium levels, supports heart rhythm, and aids muscle function, preventing cramps. It promotes nerve signaling and fluid balance, reducing stroke risk. Bananas, spinach, and potatoes are rich sources.

Interactions
synergistic. Potassium and sodium maintain the electrochemical gradient across all cell membranes via Na+/K+ ATPase; higher potassium intake counteracts sodium-induced hypertension
synergistic. Magnesium is required for Na+/K+ ATPase pump activity; magnesium deficiency causes renal potassium wasting that cannot be corrected until magnesium is replenished
enhances. ACE inhibitors and ARBs reduce aldosterone, decreasing renal potassium excretion; potassium supplementation on top can cause dangerous hyperkalemia (cardiac arrhythmia)
competes. Loop and thiazide diuretics increase renal potassium excretion, often causing hypokalemia; potassium supplementation is frequently needed
