FYI Potassium

[Guest guest]

I got this from Healthsmart on the internt:

 

Preparations

Absolutely the best sources of potassium are fresh natural foods.

Supplements may have side effects and large doses must be taken to

approach the levels of potassium that can be obtained from food; the

average tablet contains about 90 mg, for example, and a medium banana

contains 500 mg. Vegetables containing the highest levels of

potassium are generally those containing the lowest levels of starch.

Seaweed has an amazingly high potassium content, containing roughly

ten times as much as leafy vegetables, but also contains a large

amount of mineral salt. Green coconut milk is another source of

potassium.

 

Plentiful sources of potassium

There is a great variety of natural foods that are an excellent

source of potassium. These include avocados; bananas; chard; citrus

fruits; juices such as grapefruit, tomato, and orange; dried lentils;

green leafy vegetables; milk; molasses; nuts such as almonds,

brazils, cashews, peanuts, pecans and walnuts; parsnips; dried

peaches; potatoes; raisins; sardines; spinach; and whole-grain

cereals.
