High Potassium Eating
Why is eating a high potassium diet important?
Potassium is a mineral found naturally in many foods. It can help lower
blood pressure and may lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. It is
used in your body to make the heart beat, to build protein and muscle, to
make energy from food and to help kidneys work.
Potassium-rich foods maintain your body’s potassium levels. Depending
on your age, aim for a daily intake of:
Age group (years) Recommended Potassium Intake
(mg/day)
1-3 3000
4-8 3800
9-13 4500
14-70 4700
>70 4700
Pregnancy (all age groups) 4700
Breastfeeding (all age groups) 5100
Your Doctor will closely watch the potassium level in your blood. He will
tell you if you need to eat more or less high potassium foods.
You may need more potassium if you:
take certain medications such as some types of diuretics (water
pills).
are losing too much potassium through urine, sweat or diarrhea.
have high blood pressure.
The "Steps You can Take" section below has lists of high potassium foods
to help you increase your daily potassium intake.
