Hi Bizi! Re: Potassium counts
I use an Application (APP) on my cell phone mostly to count my daily calories. It's called "MyFitnessPal." I like it a lot, but I understand there are other good ones too. Not only does it count calories (you input your foods eaten each day ), but it records and counts some nutrients like Vit. C, Vit. A, Protein, Fiber, Salt, Sugar, etc. I'm doing fine with everything, with the exception of Potassium! I would say the great majority of time, the APP indicates to me that I have not eaten enough potassium. Some days, it is pathetic. At least when I think about foods with high potassium in them and make a purposeful effort to eat them, my counts get super close to a good number.
Today I had the v8, half a baked potato, a few apricots and a lot of veggies.
At some point, I might ask one of my doctors to test my blood count of potassium since it seems I've been eating so little of this.
But I do hope making an effort to eat foods high in potassium will correct any potential problems.
