Are excruciating cramps waking you up at night? Are cramps stopping you during your workout? Perhaps low potassium is to blame! Bananas are a good source of potassium but they are high in sugar, so you may not want to eat too many. Here are some quality food choices to help increase your potassium levels! * Avocadaos have twice as much potassium as a banana. (874mg/cup) *Swiss chard (960 mg of potassium per 1 cup) *Spinach (838 mg per cup) *Crimini mushrooms (635 mg in 5 ounces) *Broccoli (505 mg per cup) *Brussels sprouts (494 mg per cup) *Celery (344 mg per cup) *Romaine lettuce (324 mg per 2 cups) Signs of severe potassium deficiency include fatigue, muscle weakness, abdominal pain and cramps, and in severe cases abnormal heart rhythms and muscular paralysis.
