    There have been numerous questions to how much sodium and potassium one should consume daily

    Usrda is 5.2 grams of potassium and 2,500 mgs of NA.

    When examining peoples diets there is low potassium (<2000 mgs/day) in many of them.
    I try to increase potassium with fresh fruits and vegetables, organic black strap molasses, super greens mixture, yams, legumes and can use KCL salt to help if high blood pressure.

    When you read David Brownstein MD’s book, Salt Your Way to Health, you will learn that he advocates an approximate dose of 10 grams a day of sea salt. This would help reduce blood pressure, for example.

    Hi Dr M!

    In regards to supplementing with unrefined sea salt. I tried this and felt fantastic for the first 3 days, after 3 days I began to have problems with pressure in my ears, earaches, and some weakness. It helped alot with my sweating though!

    Is it true that unrefined sea salt can decrease potassium? If so, what can one do to ensure a good balance of these?

    Thanks !
