Bananas and hypotension low blood pressure? -

if bananas are great for people with hypertension (high blood pressure) because they are high in potassium, wont they be bad for people with hypotension (low blood pressure?) So would taking KSalt be bad for someone with hypotension? Since its like maximum potassium?

My pressure is always on the low side. I love bananas, especially ripe bananas. It does not make my pressure lower than it normally would would be. What is needed to be understood, is that natural foods regulate the proper functioning of our bodies. They help to produce electrochemical signals that tells cell/organs what to do. When these signals are weak or absent, then there is a problem whereby an organ does not know when to stop what it is doing or start what it needs to do. It is also noteworthy that natural foods do not carry isolates, but certain biological compounds that have to be broken down by the body to form compounds that can be absorbed. This process takes time and usually result in timely distribution of nutrients in compounds that are usually in ratios compatible to proper body functions. Most if not all health problems developed is as a result of critical nutrients being absent from the diet. And even among those that inherit certain illnesses, the effect can be reduced with the right diet which does not mean abstinence, but addition of natural foods not customary in the diet. In the body the average ratio of potassium to sodium should be approximately a ratio of 5:1. Assuming that the manufacturer of KSalt took this into consideration, then the use of this salt should not be a problem especially since salt should always be used in moderation. Please note that eating extra salt does not correct low blood pressure. Your overall diet does.

(actually increasing your intake of salt does increase your blood pressure, but only if you drink enough fluids with it. Salt increases water retention which increases your blood volume which raises your blood pressure.) As for the question about potassium, I have no clue but it seems worthy of looking into.

potassium won t affect your blood pressure directly. it is mostly involved in the fluid balance of our cells.

yes
