             Eating less potassium 
      What is potassium? 
        Potassium is a mineral in many foods. It helps your heart, muscles 
        and nerves work well. 
        When your kidneys are not working properly, potassium may build up 
        in your blood. High potassium levels in your blood can cause heart 
        problems such as abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), a slow 
        heartbeat or heart failure. It is important to have the potassium level 
        in your blood checked regularly as recommended by your doctor. 
        Eating less potassium in your diet can help keep the potassium in 
        your blood at a normal level. 
      What should the level of potassium be in my blood? 
        A safe or normal level of potassium is 3.5 to 5.0 mmol/L. A potassium 
        level of over 5.0 mmol/L is not safe. 
      How much potassium can I eat? 
        Potassium needs are different for every person. Your dietitian will 
        help you to choose the right amount of potassium in your diet.  
        The amount of potassium you can eat depends on: 
          •  your blood potassium levels 
          •  your kidney’s ability to work  
          •  any of your medications that affect your potassium levels 
      What foods have potassium? 
        Almost all foods that you eat have potassium. Vegetables and fruits 
        tend to have more potassium than other foods. 
         
       
                                                               Eating less potassium
