Why You Need to Start Potassium-Maxxing

Does it seem like more and more of your classmates are drinking coconut water and bringing bananas to class? They are taking part in a lifestyle called “Potassium-Maxxing” — and you should too. Below are five reasons why increasing your potassium intake will heavily benefit your daily life. 

1. Better than Celcius

Have you ever considered maybe you're not really sleep deprived, maybe you're just lacking some good ol’ potassium? An electrolyte deficiency can lead you to feel fatigued and chopped. Instead of buying an energy drink, maybe try drinking some coconut water, it’s healthier anyway.

2. You can have as much cup ramen as you want

Or really any high-sodium food, like that microwave popcorn I know you’re getting from the vending machine. Potassium helps against the negative effects of sodium on your blood pressure. That means it's free reign for your salt consumption - go crazy!

3. Lowers your cortisol levels (very essential) when you’re confronting your opps

Potassium helps lower your blood pressure, essentially allowing you to be immune to rage-baiting. Feel free to get into as many arguments as your heart desires. If you are truly potassium-maxxing, as this article recommends, you can feel tranquil even in the most heated moments.

4. Hyperkalemia is a myth

The fact that you don’t even know what hyperkalem-whatever is proves my point exactly. If it truly was an issue, wouldn’t it be more well known? Don’t worry about what your kidneys can and can’t take, have your twelfth banana of the day!

5. Gives you an astonishing amount of confidence

The overarching reason that people potassium-maxx is for the debloating qualities that potassium inherits. Honestly, that one banana will change you entirely — why else do you think people would be raving so hard for its benefits? 

Of course, this is still a fairly new concept to some. Below are some frequently asked questions that can hopefully provide some clarity for all.
