Rich source of potassium and magnesium?

Answer 1

Bananas are the first potassium rich food that comes to the forefront of the mind for many people, but they are by no means the only such food. The average banana contains slightly less than 500 milligrams of potassium per fruit. For the average adult under fifty to get the dose he requires, 3 bananas a day are necessary. Eating a lot of bananas can become tiresome, and while bananas are the most popular fruit in the world, humans do not have the same love of the fruit as do their simian cousins. To stop the tiresome routine of eating a lot of bananas, we must find other potassium rich foods that we can use to supply this necessary nutrient to the body. Fortunately, bananas are not the only potassium rich food out there. Baked potatoes with the skin on are an excellent source of potassium, in addition to the skin being a great source of vitamin C and other nutrients. The potato itself is a good way to supply energy to the body because of its high starch content. Good, potatoes and bananas are good source, but what if we do not like those and want to try other potassium rich foods? Dried mix fruits in nuts are excellent sources of potassium. Even the common junk food the potato chip is a potassium rich food. (Just remember not to eat too many of these though as they are high in fat and calories.)
