Many people do not eat enough quality food to maintain the minimum requirement of 3,500 milligrams of potassium today.
Low potassium levels lead to fatigue, heart problems, and hypertension, just to name a few. Don't think that Gatorade will do anything for you either. There is only 30mg per serving in Gatorade! 12 oz of V8 vegetable juice has about 600mg by comparison. And chocolate BTW has magnesium in it... not as much as nuts, but some. You could always have chocolate with almonds!  Magnesium is also very commonly low in the diet...people miss this electrolyte alot. (please see my magnesium thread at the Vitamin Forum here).
