I have to watch the potassium because I already take Entresto that has potassium connected to it and so I have to watch everything that I eat. I cant eat potatoes or pumpkin and a lot of other things.
Potassium is found naturally in many foods and as a supplement. Its main role in the body is to help maintain normal levels of fluid inside our cells. Sodium, its counterpart, maintains normal fluid levels outside of cells. Potassium also helps muscles to contract and supports normal blood pressure.
Potassium acts in opposition to sodium, and therefore it increases sodium excretion. Reducing intravascular volume and decreasing blood vessel resistance lowers the blood pressure, which lowers the pressure in the glomerulus and results in stabilization of renal function.

Thank you both for those answers.
I will always take care of myself if you will take care of yourself!
You are so right about its saltiness. I take potassium tables and I could crush them up to salt my food. Yes it is very salty.
I hope all is going well for you Sabrina. Take care and stay safe.
