Diets for patients with high sodium and low potassium mean consuming a low-sodium, high-potassium diet, such as potassium-balanced salt or low-sodium salt instead of regular salt, and consuming more potassium-rich foods. A diet that is high in sodium and low in potassium is unhealthy. This diet is a trigger for high blood pressure episodes, and a low-sodium, high-potassium diet is recommended for the health of the body. Generally speaking, excessive sodium intake can trigger high blood pressure, so it is recommended to limit sodium intake to less than 6g per person per day, while moderate supplementation of potassium-containing foods can help treat high blood pressure, as potassium can facilitate the elimination of sodium from the body via the urine. It is recommended that low-sodium and high-potassium foods such as bananas, coconuts, spinach, mandarin oranges, persimmons, apricots and kiwifruit, beans, tofu skin, lotus seeds, peanut rice, mushrooms, seaweed, kelp, corn, soybean sprouts, carp, silver carp, eel, lean pork, mutton, and beef be added to the daily intake of high blood pressure.
