Are all high Potassium foods good for you? Potassium-rich foods are indeed great for helping you to lose weight as they are low in calories and will keep you going for longer.
If you don’t get enough potassium in your diet then try eating more bananas, white beans, spinach, yogurt and baked potatoes with the skins on.
Our recommendation – have one sweet potato a day. Just one sweet potato packs a whopping 694 mg of potassium and only 131 calories, plus loads of fiber, beta-carotene, and energizing carbs. It is one of the healthiest and most delicious foods you can eat.
Pandits recommend the above for slimming. Is it true?
True but ensure that you focus more on lower kapha energy foods and getting all your six tastes in each meal….so eat smaller portions of higher kapha foods such as bananas.
Below we have made a list of top 10 high potassium foods:
1. Avocado
2.Acorn squash
3.Spinach
4.Sweet potato
5.Wild-caught salmon
6.Dried apricots
7.Pomegranate
8.Coconut water
9.White beans
10.Banana
Keep in mind
– Potassium plays an important role in keeping the body hydrated. It works with sodium to support cellular function with your body’s sodium-potassium pump.
– Food is made up of three energies or a combination of them. Kapha energy is the heaviest of these.
