What would one consume to replenish electrolytes for the human body besides sports drinks?

I’ve read that sodium and potassium are examples of electrolytes. Recalling my high-school and college chemistry I can see why sodium would be an electrolyte since it helps conduct an electric current, but I never heard that about potassium. So besides eating bananas and salty foods I was wondering what other “natural” sources of food and/or liquid provides the body with what would be considered electrolytes. (Yes, I’m prepping for a long distance event, incase you were wondering. ;-)
PLEASE NOTE, I’m looking for “natural” (vs. man-made) foods and/or liquids.
