We tend to think of meat as muscle food, but it's only one piece of the puzzle. Researchers at the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University examined the link between muscle mass and potassium-rich fruits and vegetables. After studying nearly 400 men and women for three years, they found that those who ate the most potassium maintained an average of 3.6 additional pounds of muscle compared to those who consumed half as much. The daily goal for potassium is 4,700 mg per day, but most adults consume far less. To up your intake, include one to two cups of fruits and vegetables at every meal. Potassium rich options include sweet potatoes, spinach, bananas, oranges, cantaloupe, beans, broccoli and avocado.
