Foods High in Potassium
Why is potassium so important for your diet? To begin with your heart cannot function without potassium, which is a big deal. Even if you did manage to find a way for it to function without it, your muscles will not function without it and a serious potassium shortage will also impair your cellular process and make you feel extremely weak.
With the importance potassium out of the way now, lets get down to how best to increase your intake.
1. Nuts and seeds have very high concentration of potassium so eat as much nuts as you can, that should give you a good dose to last you for the day.
2. If you do not like nuts or have some form of an allergy, the next best source is from cereal. Bran flakes would be an ideal method of getting some much needed potassium into your system.
3. Eat some muesli and you wont have to eat the nuts or seeds and you can definitely avoid the bran flakes.
4. Between breakfast and/or lunch, have a handful of dried fruits. They are very high in potassium.
5. You could even mix the dried fruits into any of your meals, wherever it may be appropriate as fruits go very well in rice and salads.
6. Do you like raisins? If you do thats great news as they are very high in potassium content and could be another source.
7. Another good source of potassium are baked potatoes. Not the kind you might used to eating with cheese or sour cream etc. But just simple plain baked potatoes. If that is something that you can eat then it is yet another option to up your potassium intake.
8. This might taste a bit unusual but the cuban delicacy of boiled plantains is a great source of potassium.
9. Pasta lovers will rejoice knowing that plan pasta and tomatoes are also a great source of potassium.
10. Sardines, smelly but full of potassium.
Feeling motivated to increase your potassium intake? Thats good. Considering that twenty percent of americans have acute potassium deficiency and we all know where that can lead to. Make the change today and get healthy. - 17269
