Potassium is widely distributed in natural foods and is generally not lacking in the daily diet. If the diet is unbalanced, such as meat, eggs, sugar and salt, and less food, beans, vegetables and fruits, the intake of potassium will be reduced. If you do not cook properly, if you fill the dishes with vegetable juice, or if you eat vegetables with vegetable broth, you are eating “low-potassium dishes”, and you are losing a lot of potassium. Chronic diseases may cause poor absorption of potassium, diarrhea and vomiting, and some diuretics can cause excessive loss of potassium. Potassium is needed for the production of glucose, and when a large amount of sugar is consumed, the concentration of potassium in the blood drops quickly. Foods with high potassium content include fresh fava beans, horse bells, yam, spinach, amaranth, kelp, purple cabbage, black dates, apricots, almonds, bananas, walnuts, peanuts, green beans, soybeans, green beans, mung beans, mao beans, lamb loin, pork loin, etc. High potassium diet is not suitable for everyone. Acute or chronic renal insufficiency, little or no urine, potassium cannot be excreted in time; shock or adrenal insufficiency, etc. Not only can potassium not be supplemented, but also the intake of potassium should be controlled.
