Foods Rich in Potassium

Potassium is an essential mineral that can benefit your heart health by enabling muscles to operate efficiently. Many people might have low levels of potassium because of an unbalanced diet or taking some drugs such as diuretics. This would increase the risks of arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation. Some foods that are rich in potassium include squash, prunes, tomatoes, beets, sweet potatoes, oranges, apricots, bananas, or avocados. Since potassium would interact with some drugs, make sure to consult your doctor or healthcare provider before adding to the diet. [6]
