GEORGE TOWN: Muslims are advised to opt for potassium-rich foods when breaking fast, instead of salty, heavy meals.
Health experts stress the importance of consuming over 4,000mg of potassium daily to support hydration, muscle function and overall health, especially after a day of potassium loss, with Universiti Sains Malaysia’s (USM) family medicine specialist Dr Mastura Mohd Sopian saying potassium plays a crucial role in supporting nerve, heart and muscle functions.
