Should You Eat A High Or Low Potassium Diet?

Potassium is an essential nutrient. Depending on your source of information, the recommended amount of daily potassium is between 2,500 to 4,700 milligrams. Since potassium deficiency is so rare in the U.S., there is no official recommend dietary allowance (RDA). Many food manufacturers use 4,000 mg a day to calculate the daily value (DV) listed on nutrition facts labels.

RDA’s and DV’s apply to healthy people. People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) must restrict potassium and other minerals because their kidneys cannot remove excess amounts. And in many cases, including potassium, high blood levels can be as dangerous as low levels.

One Interest rumor is that people with CKD must avoid high potassium foods. That is a myth. People with CKD must limit total daily potassium to essential amount. Whether the potassium comes high or low potassium foods is up to each individual.
