Potassium
and Magnesium Contents of Foods
Majid Ali, M.D.
(Related YouTube video article is
entitled "Potassium, Professors, and Bananas)
I liberally prescribe potassium
and magnesium supplementation for all my patients
except for those on dialysis or with advance4d
stages of kidney failure. My reason for this is
simple: My patients report good benefits of such
supplementation. They are my true teachers. Of
course, I do order blood tests to monitor that the
blood levels of potassium and magnesium stay close
to upper normal limits.
I discuss the physiological roles
of the two minerals in great detail in "Integrative
Nutritional Medicine," the fifth volume of my
twelve-volume textbook entitled "The Principles and
Practice of Integrative Medicine." Below is a simple
chart that gives the contents of potassium and
magnesium in various food items:
