Too much what-potassium????

For those of you who don't know,it has been a journey getting my family to make certain dietary changes. Mom and I have both lost a considerable amount of weight,since we started heavily vegging it, and cutting back (for my mother and son) red meat,poultry. For myself-I got rid of every meat with the exception of seafood-hence my new title-pescetarian!! Okay,back to the subject at hand. Well this journey has for the most part been challenging at times,so I decided one day when I had a light bulb moment, you cannot make anyone stop eating meat if they so choose to eat it. I mean let's face it-I was a huge devourer of my share,fried chicken wings-which was one of my favorites to eat! Ham for the holidays-was a MUST!! and of course no one could ever turn down a really good burger-homemade or otherwise. So, I stopped giving Mom's the evil eye, and eased up. Now I have to give credit where credit is due,my mother eats pretty much the same as I,she has made lots of sacrifices. She loves bacon, and eats it on occasion,but the funny thing is this!! Once again,getting back on track,during her last Dr.'s visit,they told her,brace yourself-that she is getting way too much potassium from her diet, and wouldn't you know everything that I've been fixing was on the "high" list,dried beans,bananas,fresh greens,pumpkin,potatoes,tomatoes-cooked, avocadoes,oranges,prunes..... to name a few. I could have fallen on the floor, she and I burst out laughing,because I knew she would now be like, well I have to eat this meat,what else can I eat-huh?? So far so good,she's still on track and the only difference is she limits the amts. of potassium enriched foods now. Way to go,Mom!!!
