Low in Potassium

Doctors reports are all excellent! The only thing in my blood report was low potassium and just in the low end of the range. So I went to the web to see what I could eat besides bananas all the time.

Actually baked potatoes have more potassium than bananas. Baked potatoe not french fries*** But remember potatoes have carbs, likewise so do bananas but different sugars.

Other food sources of potassium are:
Orange juice
Honeydew melon
Avocadoes
Lima beans
Broccoli
Strawberries
Artichokes
Soybeans
Acorn Squash
Sweet potatoes
Milk
Halibut
Salmon
Raisins

I actually eat a lot of stuff on this list. Don't understand.

Kathi be careful with low potassium---I had a co worker that ended up in the hospital for a week. What did they tell you to do?
