Steroids Done Right

Before we get into the part where we discuss ways to increase your potassium intake, we need to talk about why you should. A lack or shortage of potassium can negatively impact your heart, cellular process and your body as a whole. Simply put your body cannot function without it.

Now that the importance and gravity of potassium has been outline. Here is how you can increase your intake:

1. Satisfy your daily potassium needs by eating a lot of seeds and nuts. For those who dont like nuts, you could switch to the next one.

2. If eating nuts is an issue then your next best bet would be to eat a bowl of cereal which is high in potassium such as bran flakes. While it might not seem palatable it does work.

3. Another source of potassium is muesli, especially if you dont like cereal such as bran flakes or even nuts.

4. Have a few dried fruits between lunch and breakfast which are very high in potassium and could serve as a post breakfast snack to keep you going.

5. Mixing dried fruits into any salads you eat could also be an option in terms of adding potassium to your diet.

6. Do you like raisins? If you do thats great news as they are very high in potassium content and could be another source.

7. Do you like baked potatoes? Then youre in luck, they are very high in potassium content and a single baked potato will go a long way in terms of your daily intake. This does not mean that you should be mixing with anything else like sour cream or cheese etc. Just the baked potato.

8. Boiled plantains will also do the trick, though i dont know if it will taste any good.

9. Whole wheat pasta and tomatoes are another great source of potassium.

10. Last but not least, have some sardines.

Feeling motivated to increase your potassium intake? Thats good. Considering that twenty percent of americans have acute potassium deficiency and we all know where that can lead to. Make the change today and get healthy.
