This link will help you select high potassium foods:

http://nutritiondata.self.com/

example:
8 oz of V8 juice:
http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/...oducts/10449/2
469mg potassium
The 12oz can has close to 800mg

The low sodium version of V8 has more potassium in it:
http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/...oducts/10452/2
819 mg of potassium!
I use V8 after a work out for this reason.

The daily intake suggested today for potassium from the diet is
4.5 grams
So take a look at what your hubby eats, and figure out if he is low in potassium intake.
Each category on nutritiondata.self.com has a serving size listed, so please pay attention to that so you get accurate data.

This is a really good resource to also detail your magnesium intake, and that site also gives an inflammatory index which is helpful to lower inflammation in the body.
