RE: How Potassium Can help control High blood pressure
This is a great read, I think that might be part of my problem, I am eating healthy but I don't eat enough so for example I will have a main meal in the day but sometimes its the only thing that I eat. But I do make sure to fill the plate up with vegetables and a little meat, I certainly do not go over on the salt. Bulgarians try to get me to add more salt to my food but I just cannot do that. They seem to have a high amount of salt in everything, recently though our neighbour has been in hospital last year due to high blood pressure, and was told to decrease his salt intake, interestingly enough he was told to cut back on the meat as he loves pork, which I believe is high in salt also. I will be looking for potassium supplements on monday and will speak to my specialist about this also. Thanks Rob.
@crazybgadventure, this is the interesting thing, but what we now consider "healthy" isn't really that healthy, and in later posts I will get to this, but the most important thing to do is to correct your Potassium to Sodium Ratio as I mentioned to 4:1.
Eating one big meal a day isn't that much of an issue, so long as you make sure you get in the adequate amounts of protein, as far as Fat and carbohydrates are concerned they are less important as far as repair and regeneration is concerned.
I suspect if the Pork Meat is cured, if so then it may well be high in salt and sugar (as part of the brining process), both of which won't help with high blood pressure Below are the two recommended forms of potassium which are good, these are a good base to take daily and the remainder you can get from food sources.
Potassium Citrate
Potassium Bicarbonate
