Some feedback. Watch video a week back and adopted my diet a bit. Already good but i still had BP at 144/92 mean over a month with medication. After adding potassium rich things the level last week went to 122/79. Good. Today the mean value is some 113/74. Decided to pause medication. So far so good.
Lol, and now you have too low pressure! Keep in mind that the FDA changed the numbers years ago, from 140/90 down to the insane low values we have now. Why? Because the rotten, money hungry pharma mafia can push more pills on you! 140/90 plus/minus a bit is perfectly fine..
It was really nice to visually FOCUS on “Potassium.” Thank you for taking the time, and going to all that trouble just to WAKE US UP to how easy it really is to ingest the proper amount daily! I’ve got it memorized, and I have your Kitchen Prep-work to thank for it. Looks GOOD. Thank you, Doc!
Quick effective demonstration by professional w out the usual extensive detailed explanation, laborious cutting of each piece lenghthy preparation, and endless photo witnesses by others.😊
Thanks for another helpful video. Your frittata looks good. A high potassium food is plantain. Almost 900 mg. I think people don't know how to cook them. They need to be very soft & almost black before they are ready to be cooked. Then you can slice & fry them, or just bake with a little oil & cinnamon until brown.
Plantains can be eaten in different ways for different needs. Unripe (green) plantains are recommended for increasing your protein intake and lowering blood sugars. They can be boiled , grilled or blended into a paste and cooked after removing the skin. The Ripe plantains (yellow) can be boiled , fried, grilled, baked or made into a pottage. You don’t have to wait till they are soft or almost black before eating them .
Thank you so much for getting the message out about food from nature being the best prescription for what ails us. I have never taken any medication or antibiotics as a function medicine holistic healer since the 80's. Sadly my body is now full of mold at 57 but at least I know the root cause of all my leaking issues, leaky gut, leaky colon, leaky chest, leaky muscle now because I am a personal trainer and the doms made things move. Deeply grateful to you Doctor Dave Clayton for sharing this message. In loving kindness from Canada's Capital 🥰❤🙏
If I ate 2300 calories a day I would end up morbidly obese. That's about 700 calories a day more than I eat daily and I'm fit, trim, healthy, work out, etc. and feel great.
Lol! We don't want that! Check out the diet in the handout (links in the description) and you'll see that you can shave 1,000 calories off this and still hit 4,700 mg daily. Keep up the good work and thanks for watching!
I am on Micardis 40 mg for high blood pressure, on the box it states do not take potassium while being treated with this medication..I have always understood this to mean a supplement….i have been looking at my food intake…avocardos, bananas, tomatoes, lots of green veg..I haven’t given it a thought I should also count the potassium intake from my food as well…I can’t seem to find out how much potassium they put in the micardis medication to see the amount of daily potassium I am taking
Thank you so much for this wonderful video ❤. It's brilliant and for finding the time to go shopping, prepare the food and cook it. Just wonderful. Took on a lot of tips!! Thank you. I follow your videos on bones and they are Amazing too.❤
@@artlego1007 Because you want your heart and skeletal muscles to work well and not cramp up or charley horse. And you want your intestines to work well and not cramp up or get impacted. And because you want your brain and eyes to work properly. That is just for starters. If your blood pressure is over 120 / 70 or 80 ? you are too high. If it is too high for too long you will begin to damage your blood vessels. Would you try to drink water out of a fire hose? No. Why? Too much pressure. Way too much.! Would you fill a water balloon until it bursts? Why not? Why would you want your overworked arteries to “burst”? Why wouldn’t you want your potassium levels to be right? You have organs that have needs, too. Your whole body needs this amount of potassium every day. Of course, you could consider not eating anything for a couple weeks. That might make your BP go down, but you are not going to feel great. And your potassium will be too low and you will possibly or probably be having some occasional cramps in your muscles. If you want to have mental focus, feel well and get work done you have to have potassium along with the rest of your fuel/ food.
Enlightening. Ive always heard it's difficult to get enough potassium from your diet. Would love & be grateful if you could create a weeks menu of high potassium meals. I seem hopeless at figuring this stuff out. Thanks much Dr Dave! Always great.
I’m not finding the recipes at link provided, but I need that fried rice one!🩷 Loved this as I keep a list of what I eat and the potassium, fiber etc. I could NEVER eat this much food in a day, so I try to maximize every thing for the most impact and I found some interesting ideas in your meal plan. The dark chocolate I use is Ghirardelli.. easy for me to find in CA-and showed lowest in lead. Be sure to research the brand as this is an issue with chocolate. Thanks for a great video! Love your channel.
Don't wait for the doctor to answer you, my friend! Either cut out the potassium for a few days and see how your body reacts, or see a doctor - especially if the palpitations aren't abating. You don't want to mess with your heart. 👍
Definitely talk to your doctor about your individual health concerns. It's unlikely that getting a total of 4,700 mg daily from food and/or supplements is harmful to your health, but it's hard to make recommendations on an individual level. Hope you check out okay!
Your palpitations probably have more to do with a magnesium deficiency than anything involving potassium. But don't take magnesium oxide (most prescribed / recommended), because only about 4% of it gets absorbed / used. Go with citrate, glycinate, etc. But I don't think it's related to the potassium.
There are definitely ways to cut corners. I have a download with all the ingredients in the description. Hopefully you can find good prices and make some smart substitutions. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Too many calories for the one days meals. Im on low carb so i make almond bread. I eat heaps of low carb veg cauli, spinach(from my garden), broc, asparagus when in season, Broc, cabbage, celery and so much more in veg. I eat lots berries so i think getting quite a bit of potassium
This day's menu would cost me about $ 50.00! That doesn't include the bun because that does not contain any nutritional value, plus it has sugar! I'm in Canada. Food is not cheap!
Definitely prices vary! I bought nearly everything at Walmart which helped. There's definitely ways to cut corners if you want to cut calories or cost. Thanks for watching!
You would have to eat that entire concoction to get 1000 mg of potassium. Most would possibly eat half ir less than the amount he seems to suggest. I think the good doctor must realize most would not consume that entire egg mixture. And what about cooking in those pans coated in Teflon or its derivatives?
Why do you use Sesame Oil? Is it not a seed oil? People say seed oils cause inflammation that can lead to hypertension, heart disease and insulin resistance.
A dash of sesame oil is for flavor only. A purist might skip the tamari (too much sodium) and the sesame oil but sometimes I get feedback that my cooking is TOO healthy. Feel free to modify as you see fit. Great point, thanks for sharing!
@@drdaveclayton Thank you Doctor for your quick response. I was diagnosed with hypertension 3 months ago. Right now, I am in the process of figuring out what to eat and what not to eat. My main problem is, I am Tyramine sensitive and have to avoid many vegetables and fruits. is it safe for hypertension patients to eat beef and use butter for cooking?
Who is going to make such an elaborate breakfast? And how is a banana a cheat? You’re living in a fantasy world. I prefer a simple breakfast of some kefir and a serving of fruit. The sheer weight of calories is ridiculous for most people. Potato chips and ketchup are OK but bananas are a cheat? I’m done.

Put an avocado in the burger and that will be a big boost of potassium
@@3willyd I'm a vegetarian. Don't eat burgers. But eat lots of avo already.
*Interesting food choices. I don't eat beef, so that part is usable. But several good ideas. Thank you.*

Thank you absolutely great💚💛🙏Oregon
Making this right now. Have hbp and need to incorporate more potassium. Ty for this recipe! ❤
What about vegetarians? Can you give some recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner?
Not everyone lives in the USA where you can buy cheap or stuff available mushroom prices here, only certain supermarket sell them
I'd skip snacks, desserts. Maybe add a few fruits as condiment. We are older, only do 2 meals a day & I'm doing low carb.

Why do I need all that potassium?
@@artlego1007

I keep meals at 3 dollars, grocery outlet.
Thank you, this was very helpful and easy to do.

I will try the breakfast frittata
I guess you can also use potassium based table salt..

Cooking on aluminum?
Looks delicious
Outstanding!
Thank you kindly!
Potato chips have potassium but they also come with salt. So better eat baked potato without salt.
thank you !!!
6 eggs a day ? is it healthy?

Is one person eating the whole frittata?
I'm skeptical of all that cost less than $20.00.
The salmon alone must have been over $10.00
Lovely! what can I swap out the mushrooms for?
Pretty much any vegetable would have a similar amount of potassium per serving. Broccoli, tomatoes...go with your favorites. Thanks for watching!
Great info doctor, thanks! 👍 Any idea how this can be accomplished on a $6.50/day food budget?
@@ib12541 Thanks, I’ll look into it. 😊

Nice three meals, I will stay away from Doritos and I’m need to stop gluten as also.
Do you have any videos on migraines?
Isn't 5300mg a bit much though? My RDA is 3500mg.
