By the way, consider using potassium chloride instead of conventional table salt. The taste is essentially the same, and there is no problem with "too much potassium in your diet." (This is often labeled "lite salt," even though the chemical formula has a greater molecular weight. Go figure.)
I take a diuretic and have to also take 4 large KCl horse pills daily in order to replenish the lost potassium. We get very little in our regular diet and it is more easily washed out by the renal system. You are not going to get "potassium poisioning" by using it in lieu of lots of sodium (which is not good for you).

Too much potassium can lead to death too. It's just less common. it's all about the right balance
