What is the Adequate Intake (AI) for potassium?

3000mg
4000mg
4700mg
5000mg

The correct answer is: 4700mg

The Adequate Intake (AI) for potassium is established at 4700mg per day. This level is recommended to help maintain optimal health and prevent deficiencies that can lead to various health issues, including hypertension and cardiovascular problems. Potassium plays a crucial role in numerous physiological functions, including maintaining fluid balance, muscle contractions, and nerve signaling. Setting the AI at 4700mg reflects a balance aimed at ensuring sufficient intake for most individuals to avoid these health concerns related to low potassium levels while also supporting overall bodily functions. Understanding this value helps personal trainers and health professionals encourage a diet that includes potassium-rich foods, such as fruits (like bananas and oranges), vegetables (like spinach and potatoes), dairy products, and legumes, to meet daily nutritional needs.
