* High calcium in the urine (hypercalciuria).

* [[Anti-inflammatory]] : When we eat a lot of potassium-rich foods (Plant-based diets) our adrenal glands secrete more glucocorticoids to keep our potassium levels in check, which may have the side effect of decreasing the level of inflammation in the body.

Potassium is naturally found in fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and dairy products. However, in special cases like athletes and people who are engaged in excessive physical activity, it is encouraged to consume electrolyte drinks and potassium supplements to compensate for the electrolytes lost through sweat.<br>

<br>

Including a combination of any of the above-mentioned high-potassium foods can help you meet the daily potassium intake requirement of 4.7 gm. The ideal way is to prepare a personal diet plan that includes all the vital nutrients in the right amounts.<br>
