"Increase your daily intake of potassium to at least 3,000 milligrams.
Potassium-rich foods include orange juice, potatoes, avocados, figs, bananas, lentils, soybeans, and whole-grain breads and cereals.
Avoid potassium supplements unless directed by your physician to take them. Excessive potassium intake can be toxic. Your diet is a safe source.
Limit your intake of processed foods to reasonable amounts and keep your sodium intake low by limiting the use of table salt."
