Potassium. Two products used in cooking low sodium meals for low sodium diets are Featherweight Baking Powder and Herb-ox Low-Sodium bullion (broth) as well as a few other substitute broths. (Inrepparttar forthcoming book: The No Salt, Lowest Sodium Soup, Salad and Sandwich book, these broths are not used. Featherweight uses Potassium Bicarbonate, while Herb-Ox uses Potassium Chloride. Neither of these can be called "potassium salt," although some tend to refer to them as such. Potassium does not increase sodium levels but an increase in potassium in your diet should be discussed with your doctor first.

However, potassium works with sodium in our bodies to regulaterepparttar 114818 body's waste balance, and normalize heart rhythms. Potassium aids in clear thinking by sending oxygen torepparttar 114819 brain; preserves proper alkalinity of body fluids; stimulatesrepparttar 114820 kidneys to eliminate poisonous body wastes; assists in reducing high blood pressure; promotes healthy skin. All of these are why, when your doctor adds diuretics to your medications he probably also added a potassium tablet.

Potassium must be balanced though. Too much or too little can cause harm to your system and to you. Symptoms of too little potassium often recognized include, poor reflexes, nervous disorders, respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, muscle damage. If you have any signs of these, then you may want to call your doctor.
