A good source of Potassium is Coconut Water! I drink a store brand and a 16.9 oz container has 1,180 mg's of Potassium. It's unflavored and slightly sweet and taste good. I would stick with unflavored without added sugars.
Wow! This was incredibly eye-opening. I just asked chat gpt and got this answer as to how to get 4600 mg of potassium each day. This is the answer I received: Getting 4,600 milligrams of potassium daily can be achieved by incorporating a variety of potassium-rich foods into your diet. Here’s a guide on how to do it: ### **Potassium-Rich Foods** 1. **Fruits** - **Bananas**: One medium banana contains about 400 mg. (2-3 bananas = ~800-1,200 mg) - **Oranges**: One large orange has about 330 mg. (2 oranges = ~660 mg) - **Avocados**: One avocado contains around 970 mg. - **Cantaloupe**: One cup contains about 430 mg. 2. **Vegetables** - **Sweet Potatoes**: One medium sweet potato has around 540 mg. - **Spinach**: One cup of cooked spinach has about 840 mg. - **Tomatoes**: One cup of tomato sauce contains about 700 mg. - **Beet Greens**: One cup cooked provides about 1,300 mg. 3. **Legumes** - **Lentils**: One cup cooked provides about 730 mg. - **Kidney Beans**: One cup cooked contains about 610 mg. 4. **Dairy** - **Milk**: One cup provides about 370 mg. - **Yogurt**: One cup of plain yogurt has around 570 mg. 5. **Nuts & Seeds** - **Almonds**: One ounce (about 23 almonds) contains around 200 mg. - **Sunflower Seeds**: One ounce provides about 240 mg. 6. **Fish** - **Salmon**: One 3-ounce fillet has about 490 mg. - **Halibut**: A 3-ounce fillet contains about 490 mg. ### **Daily Meal Plan Example** 1. **Breakfast:** - A smoothie with a banana (400 mg), a cup of spinach (840 mg), and a cup of yogurt (570 mg) = ~1,810 mg. 2. **Lunch:** - A salad with half an avocado (485 mg), a cup of cooked lentils (730 mg), and a side of tomato sauce (700 mg) = ~1,915 mg. 3. **Dinner:** - A baked sweet potato (540 mg) with a 3-ounce salmon fillet (490 mg) = ~1,030 mg. 4. **Snacks:** - An orange (330 mg) and a handful of almonds (200 mg) = ~530 mg. Total for the day: ~5,285 mg of potassium This plan slightly exceeds 4,600 mg, ensuring you meet your daily requirement. Adjust portion sizes to match your specific needs.
That's great, interesting it doesn't mention regular potatoes as those are v high in potassium. I'm going to google cheese as I wonder if that's good some in ..

In England we have a product on sale called Lo-salt. It is a salt substitute consisting of 66% Potassium Chloride and 33% Sodium Chloride. It is marketed as reducing blood pressure, which it does better than reducing your salt intake.
Dr. Clayton has a video on using lycopene to shrink prostate. Lycopene is in tomatoes, so is lots of K. Tomato sauce contains peeled and seeded tomatoes, so most all of the lectins are gone. I eat tomato sauce daily. My prostate is normal again. Now i understand the added benefit of K, too.
If you make your own. As store bought tomato sauce can't be good , has too many chemicals -- preservatives, artificial sweetners, thickeners, additives
@drsvs The way I get my Lycopene is to simmer a tin of chopped tomatoes with some olive oil for 10 minutes. This is because Lycopene is fat soluble and is absorbed better. I have been eating this every other day for the last year with a low carb diet. My PSA has dropped from 10 to 6.6 this year.
The reason given for the "low" levels of K in most supplements is that more than that amount at once is said to cause intestinal lesions and the potential for internal bleeding. Please address this issue. How much is actually safe to consume at one time? I take 99 mg several times per day as well as Mg and Taurine.
@@kevinlcarlson Well, you could carefully try based on the fact that 2,632 mg of Potassium Citrate is 1G, so figure out how many grams of Potassium you get from food and work out how many grams you need supplemented. If you assume you are say ok with 5g (4700mg is the higher end of the recommended range) of Potassium and that you will only get 2g a day from food then 3g or almost 3g (2700mg) from potassium citrate, so just multiply 2632 x 2.7 = 7106mg. That's a lot. So just be sure that your kidneys aren't in failure (but even with high dosages that still seemed beneficial) and that you aren't getting Hypokalemia so just make sure you do consume some Sodium Chloride with say pink Himalayan salt or some other unrefined salt, I stress unrefined, iodized is nice but be aware the iodine evaporates!
I saw CoT had a little less than that, but good call anyway. I use "NoSalt" with 690 per 1/4 teaspoon. I use it like salt, and in my own electrolyte drink.

How many lives would have been saved, and how much suffering mitigated, if the advice to take a multivitamin everyday was still in vogue, rather than listening to those pushing the narrative of “most people get everything they need from their diet, they are a waste of money”
Most likely all of those studies had their participants eat fruit and vegetables to increase potassium intake, maybe some supplemented as well, but the vast majority probably did not. This means that potassium cannot be established as the main cause for the reduction in mortality. We know that fruits and vegetables have many molecules that on their own, or in combination are beneficial for the human body. Now I do not want to say that potassium does not have any effect, I am pretty sure that part of the reduction in mortality comes from potassium. But it would be a missconception to think that supplementing with potassium will lead to a similar drastic decrease in mortality compared to fruit and vegetables.
Good point, and I agree. The actual foods that contain potassium contain much more that's beneficial to health! And getting potassium from a pill is not the same. Would be interesting to see a long term study of two groups of people, 1 group getting potassium from food only, the other from only a potassium supplement....then see the overall mortality/longevity rates.
Great point . Most high K foods such as avocado, salmon , sweet potato’s, tomatoes, fruits etc have many beneficial effects . And also people who eat these healthy foods tend to have a healthy lifestyle with excercise, not overeating etc. So many confounding factors . So we don’t know if it’s the potassium. Always amazed how few MDs. Know how to read and interpret and critique studies.
Stay away from sugars, and keep your weight down, don’t use seed oils (vegetable oil) or it’s not going to make much difference, if you’re going to get another disease, or heart attack, or stroke! You don’t want to get involved in a lot of alcohol, either, because it turns into sugar. We have to stop making food our entertainment!
Does anybody know the history behind why potassium supplements are limited to 99 mg? You'd have to take 40 tablets to get your RDA (or MDR for old timers).
I do take some daily minerals which include potassium. I eat meat and leafy greens too plus get as much as 3009 Mg. Potassium and other minerals. I believe on many days I get it.

A blood test for potassium doesn't tell the entire story. The majority of our potassium is stored in our cells. The heart needs a lot of potassium, so it will be taken from other cells to supply the heart. For me, I make sure to get plenty of potassium in my diet so I know that my cells have all they need.
FYI: "Inorganic nutrients include nutrients such as iron, selenium, and zinc [all elements], while organic nutrients include, protein, fats, sugars and vitamins." You're welcome.
I already have high blood potassium levels which concerns my doctor and he’s had me on a low potassium diet. What blood serum levels should we maintain? This doesn’t really mention that and just saying consume more potassium is not really helpful without some reference. 4g daily sounds like a lot and I’m sure my doctor would not recommend it even though I have no medical issues and am not taking any medication.

Or since you’ve retired. You’d be surprised how many life changing money making opportunities there are out there. Start looking now. Maybe turn a hobby into a business. Or a skill. You can teach or make money using that skill.
It is always better to die healthy than sick.
So what happens when you run out of money? Whats your countries social net for you?
@@squarewheel142 yes. This is where I am at too. However, if we don’t live as long as we can how will we find out what we can do about the affording to live part of the problem?
@@squarewheel142 👍😊 fine, as long as your best friend is Jesus our Saviour
LOL
This is false information for some people. I take lisinopril 10mg for blood pressure, last year my Doctor called me at home to ask if I consume large amounts of potatoes (potassium) to much Potassium while taking Lisinopril can cause heart Problems. So buyer be ware.
Great point! Glad to see that you're following your doctor's advice. Thanks for watching!
Soo all these findings ....to advertise another supplement? Could you provide links to those studies and where tgey were published? Otherwise it sounds not so good but bias.....
Of course! All the research is linked in the description - knowledge free for all to benefit! Thanks for watching
This MD is exaggerating the clinical significance of retrospective large cohort studies. All of them don't prove anything except an interesting relationship exists between potassium and mortality meriting further research. Proving anything in medicine requires a much higher standard.
I am skeptical, I doubt that asides of people with blood pressure that potassium has benefits
Potassium lowers BP, while sodium raises it. Ideally we all should start salting our food with potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride.
@@dou40006 I have developed kidney stones since I was in my 30’s. It’s been Hell. I’ve had a number of surgeries. One ultrasound sound revealed seven kidney stones, four in one kidney and three in another. I started taking high doses of potassium. My stones dissolved and I haven’t had a stone since.
You fail to mention food that has potassium and it looks like to me your just promoting your own wealth generation?
Check out my other videos on foods high in potassium. You will also find information on foods high in potassium in the free chapter of my book in the description.
Well, nice.. Then do a vid with the benefits of Zink and Selenium for old grumpy farts like me self! First, you don't get the brown spots all over your skin, and Dementia should be fixed too.. What did I say? I forgot.. 😎
