10. Potassium intake improves your mood
A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition a couple of years ago explained the connection between potassium intake and mood. Researchers found that people who eat potassium-rich foods on a daily basis are less likely to develop depression and anxiety. In general, it seems that those who follow a high-potassium diet are happier than those who don’t.
But how is this possible? Well, the same study proved that potassium plays an important role in the regulation of the hormone linked to happiness, a.k.a. serotonin. So, when you’re feeling blue, it would be a good idea to look at your diet first.
