While I am trying to figure out what to eat, while I am forced to eat, some notions are simply too vague. For potassium, as an example, what exactly are "leafy greens"? To my way of thinking, that should/could be anything from spinach to kale to romaine lettuce. But, of those, if they all fit, which is the richest in potassium? What else has higher values of potassium? Same goes for B5. Why, with supplements on the way, am I going to aim at consuming more as well? Because food born minerals are more likely to be used by my body than supplements. I am hoping that by eating foods, my body may come around to realizing the insufficiency and then begin looking more closely at what is going through. If nothing else, it should give me a jumpstart. That was some serious palpitation. It just would not calm down. I've had it before, rarely. No worse. Still, now I have an idea that it is probably nutritional, I can work on it.
For potassium, I found a top ten list. More, it offers other foods in each listed item which also have high(er if not the highest) sources. I did likewise for B5, another top 10 list with sub-lists under each type. Some of the food fits my diet aims, some such as potatoes, squash, bananas, and maybe sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes or yams, never can quite tell and the stores often get it wrong. One is okay, I believe, the other is not. There is at least one crossover, avocados. Too bad I am allergic (not!). I'll enjoy digging into avocados, which go great in salads as do eggs and mushrooms, or simply sliced and eaten or put on meats, or mashed and whatever. Either you love avocado or you hate them, I think. I am on the phile side of them. Was always told to eat them with great caution. Wrong! Bleh.
I am hoping to make it to the store yet today. Or maybe later, or tomorrow, or... soon. If I run out of foods that are best, I have other food around. Well, and plenty of eggs. I'll see how I am feeling and if the salads and such have helped. Later.
