I want to lose wieght but I am worried about my breasts sagging. I am not bothered if I have small breasts but I don’t want for them to look all empty and saggy. Do you have any tips for nutrition, vitamins, creams or exersices that will help my breasts to look good after I lose weight?

The supplements that I’m familiar with contain 99mg of potassium per tablet, which is 3% of your RDA. Only one single tablet per day is recommended. Potassium is a relatively abundant nutrient in all kind of food and thus is relatively difficult to get too little of it. How can one tablet of 3% RDA make much of a difference?

Also, while I more or less understand that there may not be a specific relationship between quantities of sodium and potassium in a person’s diet as each nutrient should be looked at on its own, a diet low in sodium and "high" in potassium is said to be beneficial for the blood pressure and heart. Do those two nutrients balance each other? Can you counteract a diet that’s too high in sodium by increasing your potassium intake?

Thanks!
I also vaguely remember something about a sodium and/or potassium pump or channel in the wall of certain (maybe all?) cells.

Yesterday we moved several (about 6) very heavy pieces of furniture from one house to another. Last night I took a long, very hot bath and a potassium supplement. This morning I still feel like I’ve been hit by a freight train. Any suggestions, or is this just going to take time?
Thanks for all the suggestions =)

I’ve been searching for a free online tool that allows you to enter what you eat every day and then get a report on calorie consumption and whether I’m getting the correct amount of proteins, fiber, calcium, vitamins, etc. I’ve seen plenty of tools that track calories, but none that give a more comprehensive breakdown of nutritional adequacy. Anybody know where to find such a tool?

Thanks.
CalorieKing is not free, but thank you for your suggestion.

Thanks for the quick response! The reason I am taking potassium supplements is because I’m allergic to pretty much every food that contains potassium. My only alternative seems to be a supplement. Thank you!

I want to start eating healthy but my whenever I try to my stomach or taste buds reject it. Is there a way to change this?

A year ago my vision used to be at around (-2.5), Now it is (-3.5). I think this drop is due to the eye stress . I would like to restore or improve my vision with exercises, tips, common
knowledge, maybe even some ancient practices from India, various nutrition, vitamins, minerals, foods etc which help to improve vision. No occult methods like looking at moon on equinox days etc. Please advise only the best practices.

I am going to take a potassium supplement but I still need additional sources for potassium to avoid cramps. I was wondering what other foods can help me?
Besides pottasium,just more protein and carbs?

Hello

Ive decided that I want to cut back on the junk food, so does anyone have any tasty (and healthy!) recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and for snacks?

And any tips on how to STOP eating junk food?

I notice that potassium supplements are limited by law to approximately 99mg, which is roughly 3% of the RDA. 3% is absurdly low for a supplement.

So, why is this the case? Is potassium potentially highly dangerous?

And if so, is it risky to use a salt substitute, which contains 17% of the potassium RDA in each serving? Since I use salt substitute in place of table salt every time, I easily consume 5-6 servings in a day, which is like taking 30-35 potassium supplement pills.

Thanks!
Good answers so far, thanks. I’ll take them into consideration when considering a different form of salt. I appreciate it!

But no one has really addressed my question exactly. Whether there are other types of salt out there that I could or should be using isn’t precisely relevant to what I asked.

I want to know if using as much of this salt substitute as I do on a daily basis is dangerous. I am only getting about 100% of the RDA for potassium, but it is the equivalent of taking 30-35 maximum legal potency potassium pills each day.

And if it’s NOT dangerous, why are potassium supplements so highly regulated? Why is someone who needs potassium supplementation forced to take over 30 pills just to get 100% of the recommended daily intake?
