RE: Re: Salt and Leg Edema revisited+securetekman

[Guest guest]

Thanks for this

information. I too have a good diet but with MALABSORPTION and Celiac damage,

there is no way to ascertain what I will actually ABSORB from my diet, so I

take supplements just in case.

Edema revisited+Dody

The Potassium in KI is 23.5528%

From my xls file I have recorded 1.2mg K per drop of Lugo's 5%.

It actually will depend on your drop size, I measured mine.

Very little Potassium considering the RDA for those over 50 is 4700mg/day.

I target Potassium rich foods in my diet.

My average intake is about 6.24 grams per day.

6 oz Sweet Potato is one of my best suppliers @ 807.96mg

6 oz of Brocccoli @ 498.75mg

4 oz Bananna @ 405.96mg

etc.

I can go on and on as I have broken down all my foods to obtain their Nutrient

content. But I still have to add Potassium Bicarb to my drinking water to

obtain 6 grams per day.

I found it very hard to almost impossible to obtain the K needed until I

changed and modified my entire diet plan. (no junk food)

Hope this helps.
