Foods High in Potassium

February 3, 2009



Below is a list of potassium rich foods, the values that you see are per 100g of whatever food item I am referring to. Natural plant foods are usually high in potassium which is in complete contrast to most processed foods which are very low in potassium. When choosing foods high in potassium, try to avoid anything with high sodium levels as it increases water retention which is what is primarily responsible for things like love handles. So the way to go is high potassium and low sodium.
