DESCRIPTION: Less than 2% of Americans achieve even the recommended minimum adequate intake of potassium due primarily to inadequate plant food intake. People eating plant-based diets are often asked where they get their protein [and have to explain that plants are the preferred source (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant-protein-preferable/
)]. Maybe they should then ask where people eating conventional diets get their potassium--or their fiber for that matter, see Relieving Yourself of Excess Estrogen (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/relieving-yourself-of-excess-estrogen/). For more on what we evolved to eat, see Paleolithic Lessons (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/paleolithic-lessons/). This is the first of a three part series on potassium. Tomorrow we'll explore its role in Preventing Strokes with Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-strokes-with-diet/).

Eating a diet low enough in sodium (salt) can prevent the rise in hypertension risk as we age.

I’ve badly neglected sodium on NutritionFacts.org, but that’s all going to change. I have about a dozen salt videos queued up that dive deep into the existing controversies. It’s such an enormous topic that it was a bit intimidating at first. There are more than 8,000 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=%22Sodium%2C+Dietary%22%5BMesh%5D) articles on the topic in the medical literature, but that’s what you have me for! If you appreciate my efforts please consider becoming a regular supporter by clicking on the donate (https://nutritionfacts.org/donate/) button above.

• Can Diabetic Retinopathy Be Reversed? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/can-diabetic-retinopathy-be-reversed/)
Canned foods are infamous for their sodium content, but there are no-salt varieties (Canned Beans or Cooked Beans? http://nutritionfacts.org/video/canned-beans-or-cooked-beans/). Cutting down on sodium is one of the ways we could be Improving on the Mediterranean Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/improving-on-the-mediterranean-diet/). Beyond heart health it could also help our kidneys (How to Treat Kidney Stones with Diet http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-treat-kidney-stones-with-diet/). But if you cut down on salt, won’t everything taste like cardboard? See Changing Our Taste Buds (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/changing-our-taste-buds/).

What if you already eat healthy and still can’t get your pressures down? Try adding hibiscus tea (Hibiscus Tea vs. Plant-Based Diets for Hypertension http://nutritionfacts.org/video/hibiscus-tea-vs-plant-based-diets-for-hypertension/) and ground flax seeds (Flax Seeds for Hypertension http://nutritionfacts.org/video/flax-seeds-for-hypertension/) to your diet. And make sure you’re exercising regularly (Longer Life Within Walking Distance http://nutritionfacts.org/video/longer-life-within-walking-distance/).

Most Americans get less than half the recommended minimum fiber intake a day and the benefits of fiber go way beyond bowel regularity.
Subscribe to NutritionFacts.org's free e-newsletter and receive a recipe from Dr. Greger's brand-new cookbook, The How Not to Diet Cookbook: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/
This is one of the reasons legumes and whole grains are emphasized in my daily dozen checklist of all the healthiest of healthy foods to ideally fit into your daily routine. Available (for free of course!) as an app (Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen) on iPhone (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dr.-gregers-daily-dozen/id1060700802?mt=8) and Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nutritionfacts.dailydozen) and in my video Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen Checklist (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dr-gregers-daily-dozen-checklist/).
Fiber does not work alone. Fiber acts as a prebiotic to feed out friendly gut flora. Check out, for example:

Subscribe to NutritionFacts.org's free e-newsletter and receive a recipe from Dr. Greger's brand-new cookbook, The How Not to Diet Cookbook: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/
DESCRIPTION: Plant-based diets appear to protect against metabolic syndrome, also known as syndrome X, which is characterized by the so-called "deadly quartet," abdominal obesity, high fasting sugars, high triglycerides, and high blood pressure. We see this same step-wise progression towards lower disease risk the more plant-based one's diet gets with high blood pressure (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/uprooting-the-leading-causes-of-death/), cataracts (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-cataracts-with-diet/), diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/uprooting-the-leading-causes-of-death/), and obesity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/thousands-of-vegans-studied/). So it's not all or nothing-- just adding more healthy plant foods to crowd out some of the animal and junk foods in the diet can offer significant protection. It does appear, though, that to maximize one's benefits one has to move towards maximizing the proportion of plants in the diet.
