Avocados
Avocados are nutrient powerhouses packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins and minerals. A cup (150 grams) of mashed avocado supplies a substantial 1120 mg of potassium. The combination of antioxidants, healthy fats, and fiber in avocados positively impacts heart health, weight management, and metabolic syndrome. [5]
Consuming avocados is associated with improved diet quality and reduced risk factors for metabolic syndrome, including lower BMI and waist circumference. The rich potassium content of avocados makes them a versatile and nutritious addition to various dishes, from salads to smoothies.
Watermelon
With its high water content, watermelon is refreshing and a good source of potassium, providing nearly 14% of the daily value per two wedges (approximately 572 grams). Additionally, watermelon contains significant amounts of magnesium, vitamins A and C, and fiber. Its hydrating properties make it an ideal snack for staying refreshed during hot weather or after physical activity. Incorporating watermelon into the diet can contribute to overall hydration and potassium intake, promoting optimal health and well-being. [6]
