Bundles include fruit, fix swelling, reduce sodium.

Swelling after a salty meal, don't rush to find the highest potassium fruit, because "most" doesn't always mean it's the best fit. 🍈

Potassium is a mineral that helps maintain body fluid balance, and helps to disprove the effect of sodium on blood pressure, where in people with normal kidneys, the kidneys better expel excess sodium through urine.

Compared to the "1 part" in the image, this group of fruits contains ascending potassium:

🍈 jackfruit, 2 small pools, about 114 mg.

🍌 1 small juice orchid. About 154 mg.

🟡 1 tablet of durian, about 233 mg.

🥭 1 mango by reference size. About 282 mg.

🧡. 7 pieces of ripe papaya. About 347 mg.

🐉 half-fruit dragon glass. About 542 mg.

🍈 6 pieces of cantaloupe. About 578 mg.

But Fern wants to reiterate that fruit is not a sodium driver or an accelerated antiswelling, and it is not necessary to choose the highest potassium type because the actual amount is changeable according to varieties, fruit size, weight, and ripeness. Importantly, some fruits provide different carbohydrates and energy, so they should be eaten in exactly the same amount and alternately.

If eating salty and feeling swollen, what should be done in tandem is

✅ Reduce processed foods, dips, broth and salted seasonings in the next meal.

✅ Drink enough water according to the needs of the body.

✅ Choose to eat a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.

✅ Don't starve or drink too much water to "wash the sodium."

⚠️ People with kidney disease have hyperkalemia, certain heart diseases, or use drugs that cause high potassium, such as certain drugs used to treat pressure and heart, should not rush to eat high potassium fruits, should consult a doctor or dietitian first.

In other words, potassium helps with sodium balance, but the main solution is still "salty," not fruit.

Share, keep, choose the fruit to suit yourself, and pass it on to people who like to complain, "Last night, eat salty. Wake up, swell." 😊
