Do You Need A List Of Foods High In Potassium? Think Again.

Researching and finding a worthwhile list of foods high in potassium these days, has almost become a joke. The majority of the information currently spread across the web is recycled rhetoric, rearranged, repackaged and ultimately redone to be showcased as new. Handing over a list of foods high in potassium, without properly putting such information into real world context, is anything, but helpful, or best for your health, in fact.
My hope is that my genuine attempt to help people, set the record straight and hopefully transform my experience into words you can use that have resulted in my healthy lifestyle, without disease, or discomfort. Before detailing the high potassium foods and their specificities, let us first discuss how vital potassium is in your human body, blood, and the reasons why it could be a contradicting result if not properly maintained.

Experiencing High Potassium Or Low Potassium?

It is unjust to simply assume a deficiency or excess of potassium in the body should be dealt with, by extreme, opposite actions to bring potassium levels back inline. This is the common thinking on so called 'health' web sites online. As obvious as poorly researched information usually is, the right 'fix' or not, is to simply do the reverse that ultimately resulted in either having too much potassium in your body or not enough.

In other words, logic states when the human body is depleted by a mineral can be remedied by adding or subtracting the intake of said mineral, or nutrient, potassium in this case until your deficiency or excessive potassium levels lessens or disappears entirely.

And that is exactly why so many clamor to online to diagnose and get more 'research' previously warned about from often absolutely dangerous sites (the 'reporting' found on Wikipedia represented as medical fact yes, actually could harm you more than help) that misrepresent facts, misinterpret medical definitions, and blatantly lie in a shameful display of manipulation to coax you to buy into an agenda, often resulting in you parting with your cash.

Foods the boast high potassium include, but aren't limited to: bananas, dates, apricots, brewer's yeast (not the same as the yeast you bake with - brewer's yeast is an over the counter supplement that you can find in most health stores, or on the internet), brown rice, potatoes, dulse (which is a form of sea weed, usually sold dried, in a package and in the ethnic sections at even conventional grocery stores - think sushi), garlic, dried fruits, winter squash, wheat bran, nuts, figs, yams.

That list of foods high in potassium is just the starting point. I will be adding more to this list in the next couple weeks, addressing the low in potassium foods list and growing it as time permits.

Also of note before you go diving in to your high potassium or low potassium diet plan; keep this in mind.

If any of your symptoms or health conditions have anything to do with kidney function, you experience frequent bouts of diarrhea, or you smoke, or you drink coffee regularly, each and / or in together will directly effect your potassium levels negatively.
