Potassium, also regulates water balance ..and assists recuperative powers. Potassium aids rheumatic or arthritic conditions (causing acids to leave the joints and ease stiffness). Potassium is crucial for the elimination of wastes. Potassium is a natural pain desensitizer. Potassium helps control convulsions, headaches and migraines, promotes faster healing of cuts, bruises and other injuries and generally contributes to a sense of well being. Potassium is stored in the muscles.
Body builders use a “potassium load” to give their muscles more energy but there is no scientific proof of its effectiveness..
I hope, this will help you, out!
