Fresh fruits and vegetables are some of the top sources of potassium. Eating the recommended 2 cups of fruit and 2 1/2 cups of vegetables each day can help you consume plenty of this essential mineral. A cup of cubed cantaloupe supplies 494 milligrams and a papaya contains 781 milligrams. One medium banana contains 467 milligrams. A medium-sized mango provides 323 milligrams, and a kiwi supplies 252 milligrams. Eat a tomato for 400 milligrams, or have a baked sweet potato for 508 milligrams. Avocado, potatoes and pumpkin are also top sources of potassium.
U can drink plently of fruit juice and coconut water.
Syr Pot Klor 2 tsf thrice daily after food for 3 days will also help.
