Potassium (K) Beet leaves 1 cup …… 1300 mgs Swiss chard 1 cup …… 900 mgs Spinach 1 cup …… 840 mgs Beets 1 cup ……. 520 mgs Avocado med …… 500 - 700 mgs Banana med …… 425 mgs Papaya half …… 390 mgs Raisins 1/4 cup …. 270 mgs Just in case someone wants the values! Interestingly, I adore beetroot, avocado, pawpaw/papaya, raisins etc. I have heart issues and a Cardiologist put me on a Potassium drug to help stop the Angina attacks I was having! I can’t tolerate Beta-blockers or Calcium-channel blockers.
Thanks Doc. My BP has improved significantly since I do eat lots of avocados, papaya, bananas, guava, spinach, salmon, taro leaves & yes octopus on occasion. Oh, we’re in Hawaii. Aloha, Leilani
You left out one of the best foods: legumes. 1/2 cup of pinto beans is nearly 500 mg. The other thing worth noting is how we hear all the time that most Americans are severely deficient in D3; but I bet we are even more deficient in potassium - by a lot. Especially given how much sodium is in the typical standard American diet. Thanks for your videos - a true blessing.
Weekends 125/72 Mon-Fri 155/94 all stress related from work. Tried every holistic options, vitamins, herbs, cut out carbs. On BP meds for a few weeks and still high during the week. Sunday 6AM 125/72 Monday 6AM 145/83 then goes up. I guess I need a new career at 62.
Beet powder with oat mill is a great way. Beet power with Mash Potatoes. The great thing about Beet powder is you hardly taste it and its an OK taste. I indirectly got this idea from one of your videos regarding beet powder. Beet Power can be put into a lot of things like Quina, Rica, Cheese sauce, etc.. For you keto lovers. IT works well with Chopped liver too. lol
Ok this just burns.. my dear husband 70 years old goes to Dr this morning and his blood pressure was 119 over 70, he smokes a pack a day, eats whatever he wants to when he wants to. He does spend lots of time outdoors more than I do. I do all the things and my bp is never that low. I fast deep breathe, recumbent bike, squeeze the ball, cold showers, keto and take 30 mg of Lisinopril daily. And my bp is mostly way too high. I take magnesium,garlic , ashwaganda , etcetc etc. I do have lots of pain from arthritis but I'm very amazed by this. Sad thing is I will probably live longer than him anyway so I can suffer more! Sorry for the rant . 🙁
One of the things that helped me the most when I was getting stoved up was I stopped eating white bread, so then I stopped eating wheat grain processed things. no soft drinks just water. Lost weight like mad and I no longer had to bend down on one knee to pick something off the floor, I can run up and down stairwells I can move freely. You can take good things but it's the bad things that are holding you back. Skip the sugar, processed grains, and get out and walk walk walk walk walk walk walk walk walk walk walk walk. Blood pressure comes from your middle section, and to change it will take months.
I eat about 4 bananas a day and 3or 4 oranges plus about 3 or 4 glasses of milk - I have been on this diet for 30 years since my wife died - I do not cook ! I am nealy 90 and apart from hypertension I am well,😃
I have been fighting low sodium for 6 months.. So if I eat Potassium I can not afford to go any low 132 sodium now.. Dr is changing BP med thinking it is draining Sodium.. So I am in a quandary as to if I eat Potassium until pill change? I do not want a stroke! I would love to get off meds for BP all together been on them way way too long..I enjoy your videos thank you.. I need to rewatch our where to start!
Dr Adam how many times should someone will check bp at a time to go get a correct figure? Once, twice or three times? Because I fear bp machine too much that made me to.always checked my bp twice or three times. And when I do so, the number always gose down or remain the same.
Sweet potatoes and regular potatoes, bok choy, beans are also high in potassium. Interesting....bananas, papaya, avocado are all 'latex' foods. Potatoes are bad for inflammation, eg fibromyalgia, etc.. Possible conflicting types of reactions to potassium foods? Is there a mystery here???!!!!
Best, is using Himalayan/Celtic salts It tastes like regular salt, but has magnesium and potassium, enough to cancel the harmful effects If sodium alone . I bought Celtic salt for electrolytes..and found out it lowered my BP from 135/87 as a rule, to 125/82 or lower I'm 65, and not on BP medicine
Salmon, avocado, bananas have helped me lower my BP.
Only consume wild caught salmon.
reducing sugar and carbs has helped me
Great respect to you from Afghanistan Sir!!!

Why not just buy slow Potasium (K for kalium)😄😄
pills from the pharmacy or health food shop ?
Wow, I had no idea. Really good info thx 🙏🏼😊

Beet leaves, Swiss Chard, Spinach, beets, are all super high in oxalates. I'd go with some of your other suggestions.
Thanks for sharing!

Balanced diet for me, i took out most beef so more fruits and vegis is my jam. Thanks for the research and video!
You're so welcome!
Nothing wrong with beef, you need BOTH
Meats & vegetables
The more potassium I eat, the more I pee. I suppose, by design.
@@fredost1504 he said Potassium is good for kidneys, it may be your kidneys are repairing themselves
Sounds like I am getting too much. What signs and symptoms would say too much?
Eating lower carbs ( 100g per day) and no added sugar (no fruit too, unless it’s veggie fruit)
Adam, do you know why are potassium supplements are regulated to have such tiny amounts in them?
Beans have potassium if you can handle them
What kind of potassium? citrate,gluconmate??
@@pattymcclannahan8094 I’d be really interested to know too. Thank you so much

I eat a lot more vegetables now and almost or actually reach my potassium allowance (3500mg) everyday.
Great, i love all those foods
After boast my diet with rich potasium diet my diastolic pressure stay high at 92/94 buth i can see a reduce in systolic pressure.
Thank you for the info! ❤
No problem!!
😂😂😂 I guess he doesn't like octopus
Me neither! Gross! Give me vegis and fruits any day.
me neither 😀
My problem is i have too low blood pressure 90/50. 50 years old male. Very active. And I don't eat a lot of potassium food. I eat a diverse diet.
Sweet potatoes and regular potatoes, bok choy, beans are also high in potassium.

1 medium potato has 620mg potassium.
Pot. ( not just mag )
Helps me sleep as well
Long time insomniac
Pot..in many, not all people, the THC..causes paranoia..even off the plant unlaced 😵💫
I tried Octopus in Japan. Not bad. But kept sticking to the roof of my mouth. HA HA HA HA! (joke)
Braised octopus is nice, had a big plate of it for lunch at a cafe in Spain.
Eat a steak with a spinach salad. Problem solved

I bought Celtic salt for electrolytes..and found out it lowered my BP from 135/87 as a rule, to 125/82 or lower
I'm 65, and not on BP medicine
Raw spinach or cooked spinach?
I am hoping either way!
@cattracks7128 me too, cooked or raw spinach is my favorite, and I used it as a substitute for lettuce in a salad with cheese
Bacon is VERY high in potasium
@@bobdec6665 if that’s true you should eat a lot of it.
