healthy weight.

So, in a few of my videos, I talk about the relationship between potassium and blood pressure, but

0:27.5

I had someone recently ask, why does potassium help lower blood pressure?

0:32.9

And that's what this video is about.

0:35.3

Just some quick background information, only 2% of the population, and I'm talking about

0:41.2

Americans, get enough potassium, 2%.

0:45.6

That means 98% of Americans are deficient, they're just not getting enough.

0:53.9

Most of them don't know that they need a lot, they need about 47, 100 milligrams a day

1:24.1

per day, when they actually need about 7 to 10 cups, but realize when I'm talking about

1:29.5

7 to 10 cups, I'm talking about like loose lettuce, I'm not talking about concentrated

1:36.2

like broccoli, for example, or cauliflower, this would be for leafy greens, so if you're

1:41.5

going to do something more dense, maybe you do four cups, something like that.

1:47.8

And also, if you chop this up and cut this down, this is going to come down a lot less

1:52.7

because you're actually making it more dense, but the point is that the more vegetables

1:56.6

that you eat, the closer you're going to get to this amount.
