A word of caution
With so many dietary sources of potassium, it’s best to beef up your potassium via your diet. But some medications, especially heart medications (the irony!) can leach potassium from your body. So if you think you may need to supplement, consult with a doctor.
Various conditions, including kidney disease, can cause you to have too much potassium, a condition called hyperkalemia, which can cause trouble breathing, numbness, and can even lead to heart attack.
Include a good variety of fruits, vegetables, and proteins in your diet. You’ll get a good supply of potassium, and your heart will thank you.
