Kiwi does Your Body good!
August 29, 2007
How important is potassium to your body? Important enough that if you don’t get enough of it you could run your the risk of cramping up in intense athletic competition. If you do not receive enough Potassium you could significantly effect your blood pressure and increase lactic acid build-up in your muscular system, which would lead to cramping.
Because bananas are so commonly recommended as the best source for potassium I thought I’d share a favorite fruit of mine for potassium - the kiwi. Of course, there are many other sources of potassium, which you can find linked here. As well as some other interesting information on potassium intake here. Generally, I think you would agree that a healthy dose of fruit dishes on a daily basis would certainly help you to maintain your potassium levels for training.
So, enjoy the Kiwi’s - they go well with strawberries and bananas mixed with a cup of ice and a touch of milk in a blender.
