If you want to boost your potassium intake, bananas, potatoes, plantains, beans, and sweet potatoes aren’t always the best options. Although these foods contain potassium, they also contain a significant amount of sugar. One avocado contains 700 mg of potassium, zero starch, and zero net carbs. Avocados are also a potent source of healthy fats and magnesium. Leafy greens such as Swiss chard and spinach are high in potassium but also high in oxalates. Consuming leafy greens with calcium can help reduce the effects of oxalates. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
