10 Foods High in Potassium

  • 1 / 11   What’s the Big Deal About High-Potassium Foods?

    High-potassium foods are an essential part of any balanced diet: The mineral helps to regulate your body’s fluid levels, aids in muscular function and waste removal, and helps keep your nervous system functioning properly. Potassium also helps reduce blood pressure in people with hypertension and lowers your risk for stroke. A deficiency in potassium can cause fatigue, insomnia, depression, muscular weakness, and many cardiovascular issues. Though people with kidney problems should avoid eating too many high-potassium foods, most adults should intake about 4,700 milligrams a day. Here are 10 high-potassium foods to help you reach that number.

Food of the week: KALE

Enjoy Kale This Week

 

Kale is now recognized as providing comprehensive support for the body's detoxification system. New research has shown that the compounds (isothiocyanates) made from kale's glucosinolates can help regulate detox at a genetic level. Researchers can now identify over 45 different flavonoids in kale. With kaempferol and quercetin heading the list, kale's flavonoids combine both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits in a way that gives kale a leading dietary role with respect to avoidance of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. Kale's risk-lowering benefits for cancer have recently been extended to at least five different types of cancer. These types include cancer of the bladder, breast, colon, ovary, and prostate. Isothiocyanates (ITCs) made from glucosinolates in kale play a primary role in achieving these risk-lowering benefits.

Health Article: The Mediterranean Diet: Should You Give It a Try?

Do you love fish and fresh fruits and veggies? Is olive oil a staple in your cooking? If you answered yes, the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet might be right for you. 

 

People seeking a diet steeped in history and based on geography may want to check out the Mediterranean Diet. This heart-healthy diet includes the food staples of people who live in the 16 countries around the Mediterranean Sea, such as Greece and Italy.
The Mediterranean diet emphasizes foods with healthy fats — those containing omega-3 fatty acids — plus other foods that support a heart-healthy diet. “This diet is rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, seafood, nuts and legumes, and olive oil,” says Nancy L. Cohen, PhD, RD, professor and head of the department of nutrition at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. “Mediterranean diets also tend to be low in red meat, and use yogurt and cheese as dairy products. The diet also recommends red wine in moderation.”
