Why potassium and calcium are vital nutrients

NatureWise is a health supplement company founded by DavidPaul Doyle that has won the best condition specific supplement line at the National Natural Products Expo and two Editor's Choice Awards at Supply Side West in the Organic Beverage and Probiotics Categories. These days, the company explores various topics on health and wellness on its series of blogs.

For today's blog, DavidPaul Doyle discusses two important nutrients potassium and calcium, as shared on the NatureWise website.

Potassium

According to reports, nearly 98% of the U.S. population doesn't meet their recommended daily intake of potassium, a mineral needed to support nerve function, muscle contraction, and fluid regulation. Potassium deficiency, especially severe cases, can cause several health issues, including elevated blood sugar levels, muscle spasms and stiffness, heart palpitations, and shortness of breath.

People are encouraged to consume potassium such as sweet and white potatoes, avocados, white and pinto beans, bananas. For women who are more prone to nutrient deficiency because their dietary needs change more dramatically, supplementing their food intake with NatureWise's Women's Multivitamins can help deliver targeted nutritional support when needed most.

Calcium

Even when people stop growing, they still need calcium. The body is constantly replacing old bone cells with new ones to keep bones strong and healthy. In fact, as NatureWise noted in this blog post, the human skeleton completely regenerates for approximately 10 years. Insufficient calcium intake may cause osteoporosis and increase the risk of fractures.

Calcium is becoming an increasingly common deficiency as more people these days are opting for a dairy-free diet. However, milk, yogurt, and cheese are not the only dietary sources of calcium. This mighty nutrient can also be found in salmon, sardines, some beans, broccoli, and kale.
