Low Potassium Diet: Foods to Include & Understand Potassium Levels

Question
I just came back from the doctor and was advised my potassium is a stage 3.  I was told to drink lots of water and liquids and avoid foods with high potassium.  I need to know what a stage 3 is and what foods I can eat that have low potassium

Answer
Jennie,

Usually, the term 'potassium stage 3' refers to cellular equilibrium of K ions versus Ca ions. I failed finding any application of this to health condition other than natural cell death (apoptosis)

As to your food question, please read the following articles at allexperts.com:
