Potassium

Trying to work on my own nutrition thus I read the following article and thought I would share

Orange Juice has a significant amount of Potassium, and Low Sodium V8 has a more significant amount of Potassium than one might expect by default 8fl oz contains 850mg which says it is 20% in a serving. USA diets generally already are high on salt intake thus the Low Sodium version might beat the original.

Worthy of note, from what I have read too much potassium can be a problem in certain individuals with advanced kidney disease (kidneys remove excess potassium) or potentially with people that use medications that make the body hold onto extra potassium (NSAIDs are the example in the article).

I have wound up in the hospital before and they found my blood to be low on potassium and they gave me potassium pills (still a low percentage of daily value I believe as too much concentrated potassium is a problem as well). Nutrition is crucial and not always fully pondered.
