How much nutrition is lost through juicing?

Im supposed to eat a banana a day to keep my potassium levels up, If I eat dried banana chips or eat a supplement will I get the same nutritional value as the fresh banana?

Currently taking another one with a diuretic but it is depleting my potassium and they want to change it. Have also added a potassium supplement, but it bothers my stomach sometimes. Thanks!

New Diet water and vitamins is it OK or not?

I was going to go on this new diet, that I had made it consist of only drinking water and taking vitamins for my nutrition. I am not sure if it is going to work but I have tried it before and lost like 3lbs in one day. I was just wondering if I should go through it or will it screw with my health?

I am not seeing a doc for it.

I am aware that low potassium can effect muscle function (including the heart)… but how low is dangerous? My GP didn’t advise!

I am taking a potassium supplement and my bloods will be checked again next week… but in the meantime I was wondering if it’s still okay to do strenuous exercise like running, jogging, cycling etc? I don’t want to get unfit, but also don’t want to have a heart attack, especially as I exercise alone in isolated areas!

Only people who know what they’re talking about answer please! Thank you.
My age is 26… i’ve been prescribed sando k (6-8 soluble tablets per day) … my general health is ok but I have been experiencing light headedness, sore muscles, nausea and fatigue on and off or last few days… (don’t feel like exercise. but think i should push my self or might end up feeling worse!)

Is there any reason for this? 2% - 3% of the RDA is very little, why even take a supplement with this little in it?
