Hey you guys guys welcome back to the digest this podcast. I'm your host

Bethany Cameron and I feel like a lot of my longtime followers already know when it's Monday that means it's a bite of

knowledge and these are shorter clips just me expressing a little bit of knowledge and

passing it along to you so that you can be a little bit smarter than your friends.

And today we're talking about potassium and potassium-rich foods.

Now, when you think of potassium- rich foods, what's the first thing that comes to mind?

My guess is that it's bananas and while it's true they do pack in a lot of potassium, there are a lot of foods that are actually

higher in potassium than bananas.

Many even think that they need to take an electrolyte supplement to stay hydrated and reach

their potassium needs.

And for many that is true because

potassium is a huge part of our electrolytes and that's why whether or not I consume the foods I'm about to talk about

I still take my element electrolyte packet every single day because not only does it provide me with the electrolytes I need, it also just helps me drink more water in general.

You guys, I'm just a terrible water drinker like seriously ever since I was a

kid my mom would force me to drink water and when you're dehydrated you often

experience constipation.

So that's why I am always asking people

when they tell me that they're constipated

if they have had enough water in the past 24 hours

because that could just be the cause.

So just be sure you're drinking enough water.

Element really helps me be sure I am on top of it.
