This Week’s Phelps Health Tip
“Health experts have emphasized the significance of reducing sodium and increasing potassium levels in the US diet. Sodium intake can be lowered by avoiding processed foods, and by eating more fresh produce. Potassium occurs naturally in items like fresh beets and beet greens, Swiss chard, kohlrabi, mushrooms, radishes, spinach and squash.”
