High Blood Pressure & Potassium Intake
When it comes down to High Blood Pressure, most cases are due to deficiency of Potassium levels. And NO it’s not your regular Serum Potassium Testing, it should be your RBC potassium. So if your doctor tells you that your potassium levels are fine, he is referring towards Serum Levels which holds only 1% and RBC Potassium holds 99%
That said, if your are following a carnivorous lifestyle, here is a list of your most nutrient dense Potassium food intake
1: Beef liver is one of the highest potassium containing meats and most bioavailable with 444mg per 100g of cooked liver.
2: Pork tenderloin is another meat that is relatively high with approximately 360mg per 100g.
And 3: Chicken is a good source of potassium, I do not like it myself, as not able to find good pasture raised, but it does contain between 220-250mg per 100g of cooked chicken.
Keep in mind, this would be your best way to gain more potassium in your diet and as being most bioavailable. Now moving forward , here are other options you can add
A 150g sized avocado will contain 728mg of potassium.
A 154g of pomegranate will contain 666mg of potassium
A 130g of sweet potato will contain 438mg of potassium
Keep in mind, there are more foods that contain potassium, but do to the sugar content it will interfere with the body’s ability to absorb and utilize potassium effectively. When we consume sugar, our insulin levels increase, which can cause the kidneys to excrete more potassium in the urine. This can lead to a potassium deficiency, even if we are consuming enough potassium in our diet. For example; do not count the following items; such as; bananas, dried fruits, oranges, etc…
As for vegetables, again you have sweet potato, spinach, swiss chard, beet greens, squash, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and mushrooms. But due to the anti-nutrients found in vegetables, such as phytic acid, Tannins, Oxalates, polyphenols, can all bind with potassium and reduce their bioavailability.
Guys, there you have it, you could be thinking you are eating enough to stable your potassium, but if you are mixing your food intake, your potassium could not be utilized correctly to increase the adequate levels we are looking for to correct your high blood pressure issues.
