Questionhow many MG of potassium are in a daily 1low potassium diet?
AnswerDear Lavola,
This is a very technical question which - if you are under any form of medical treatment (especially for kidney problems) - you should ask a (renal) dietition or your nutritional specialist to tailor a diet specifically for your needs.
In general the information (in line with World Health Food Org.) is a follows:
a portion of food with a low potassium level is considered to contain between 125-200 mg of potassium.The recommended daily intake of potassium in total varies according to your age (and condition, naturally). For a healthy adult it is about 450-470mg (unless you are breastfeeding: increased).
So, for the exact and correct information on how to LOWER these levels and maintain the 350-500mg levels in your blood, you would really need to consult your own specialist.
Take Care,
Evelyn.
