What, how to eat?
( for Chronic kidney disease, hyperkalemia, complications of hypertension with diabetes)

What is potassium?
Potassium is a mineral found in most of the foods you eat everyday. It’s also an electrolyte. Electrolytes conduct electrical impulses throughout the body. They assist in a range of essential body functions, including: blood pressure, normal water balance, muscle contractions, nerve impulses,
digestion, heart rhythm, pH balance (acidity and alkalinity).
Our body doesn’t produce potassium naturally. So, it’s important to consume the right balance of potassium-rich foods and beverages.

The imbalance of potassium consumption can lead to serious health issues
specially for the patient of CKD( chronic kidney disease) and Hyperkalemia.
Healthy kidneys maintain normal potassium levels in the body because they remove excess amounts through urine.

The recommended quantity of potassium for the patients they should take is less than 2000mg/per day.
Low potassium levels in blood is also called hypokalemia. Normal levels of potassium range from 3.5 mmol/L to 5.1 mmol/L in adults. Usually, levels under 2.5 mmol/L are considered to be very serious.

Most of the foods we intake have potassium so that we cannot avoid the potassium entirely, but we will be able to control the quantity of potassium we should take in a day as follows; for making
potassium less than 2000mg/a day.
(633mg/1 meal × 3=2000mg)
Example;
* w/rice 1 cup 100 mg
* Fish 45g 100 mg
* 2 kinds veg 200 mg
* 1 kind fruit 100mg
with 1/2 cup of milk 100 mg
=1 meal 600 mg of potassium around.

* white rice 1 cup 100mg
* fish 45 g 100mg
* tofu 40 g 100mg
* cucumber 50 g 100mg
* lettuce 35 g 100mg
(4 leaf)
* chinese cabbage
(4 leaf) 45 g 100mg
* egg plant 40 g 100mg
* pumpkin 50 g 100mg
* mushroom 35 g 100mg
* radish 40 g 100mg
* leek 25 g 100mg
Fruits
* blueberry 150 g 100mg
* apple 100 g 100mg
* strawberry 70 g 100mg
* grapes 60 g 100mg
* lemon 80 g 100mg
* orange 80 g 100mg
* pineapple 100 g 100mg
* kiwi 40 g 100mg
* tomato 50 g 100mg
* peach 50 g 100mg
* banana 30 g 100mg
( putting vegetables in water for 2 ~10 hours, or boiling them shortly, will make the potassium lessen to 20~30% ).

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make breathing difficult due to bronchitis or emphysema. Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are the two most common conditions that make up COPD. Air travels down our windpipe (trachea) and into our lungs through two large tubes (bronchi). Inside your lungs, these tubes divide many times — like the branches of a tree — into many smaller tubes (bronchioles) that end in clusters of tiny air sacs (alveoli)....

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD,逆流性食道炎)is a chronic digestive disease. GERD occurs when stomach acid or, occasionally, stomach 0content, flows back into your food pipe (esophagus). The backwash (reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus and causes GERD. When you swallow, the lower esophageal sphincter — a circular band of muscle around the bottom part of your esophagus — relaxes to allow food and liquid to flow down into your stomach....
