You wanted to increase your fruit and salad intake but you are worried about your potassium levels getting too high Any advice would be welcome?

Answer 1

Unless you have some serious condition that prevents normal processing of potassium, you have nothing to worry about. The amount of potassium you'd need to consume to have health problems is so high that it's impossible to do from just eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. Indeed, most Americans consume far too little potassium and far too few fruits and vegetables. Unless you start abusing potassium supplements, there's pretty much no other way an otherwise healthy person can experience ill effects from potassium. Eat more fruits and more vegetables!
