Potassium
is an essential mineral macronutrient in human nutrition; it is the major cation (positive ion) inside animal cells, and it is thus
important in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.

A shortage of potassium in body fluids may cause a potentially fatal condition known as hypokalemia (see article for detail), typically resulting from diarrhoea, increased diuresis and vomiting. Deficiency symptoms include muscle weakness, paralytic ileus, ECG abnormalities, decreased reflex response and (in severe cases) respiratory paralysis, alkalosis and arrhythmia.

Eating a variety of foods that contain potassium is the best way to get an adequate amount. Healthy individuals who eat a balanced diet rarely need supplements. Foods with high sources of potassium include orange juice, potatoes, bananas, soybeans, avocados, apricots, pomegranates, parsnips and turnips, although many other fruits, vegetables, and meats contain potassium. Research has indicated that diets high in potassium can reduce the risk of hypertension.

jadi rek, teman2ku yang tercinta yang notabene kalian adalah makhluk yang terpelajar (walopun bukan seorang chemist) janganlah salah kaprah dan salah paham, dan lagi kalo gak ngerti terus dikasih tau tuh didengerin jangan dikacangin aja. bahwa sebenarnya kata2 yang sering sekali kalian ucapkan akhir2 ini (trutama teguh, anggi, n dodi) adalah kesalahan, bahwa hal yg kukatakan tentang potassium alias kalium itu bener dan jauh dari arti kata yg kalian maksutkan. sebenernya yang kalian maksutin itu mungkin potas (bahasa indonesia n basanya para nelayan untuk kalium nitrat ato kalium kromat yg dipake buat peledak). jadi tolong jadilah mahasiswa (trutama debater) yang bener, pake basa yang tepat dan jangan asal. coba bayangin kalo kalian ngomong "racun aja ama potasium" didepan debater ato orang yg tau lainnya, pasti memalukan kan??
