Why You May Not Need 4,700 mg Of Potassium Daily

Potassium is an electrolyte that helps balance fluid levels in cells and blood. While sodium can increase blood volume, potassium decreases it. Plant foods are the best source of potassium, but it also comes from eating animal foods.
There are indications some people are not getting enough dietary potassium. Your doctor uses a blood test called Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) to check your blood potassium and sodium levels.
Some websites claim adults need up to 4,700 mg of potassium daily. Others claim as little as 2,500mg daily is enough. For people with healthy kidneys, excess potassium is removed in your urine.
For people with kidney disease, excessive potassium can be life threatening. That is one reason potassium supplements are limited to 100 mg.

If your diet is controlled by corporations (prepared foods, restaurant foods) you probably carry a few extra pounds and either have or will have one or more serious diet related chronic diseases.
Reducing the number of prepared foods can reduce the number of calories and amount of sodium in your diet. One leads to weight gain, the other to hypertension. Your diet will also have less chemical additives and more natural ingredients.
