It is definitely true that if I don’t have fruit & veggies in the house, I won’t be eating them.

Yesterday’s fruit & veg count is: ~3/4 cup of squash casserole and most of a veggie samosa.

(Unfortunately, all of it didn’t complete the digesting process. That whole toothpaste thing started acting up again.)

But, I stopped at the farmers market and bought a dozen apples and a bag of grapes. The bananas looked old and about to go brown, so I will have to find bananas somewhere else. I’m feeling the effects of less potassium — my lower legs have been on the verge of cramping up several times over the last few days. I may go get some potassium supplements.

Anyone have any recommendations re: leg cramps and/or food sources of potassium other than bananas?

I seem to remember from my younger years that salt helped in the absorbtion of potassium. My blood pressure is great, on the low side of normal, so adding a little more salt is probably safe for me to experiment with in trying to keep the leg cramps under control. That might also help retain fluids — drinking enough liquids being the other suggestion the nurse had for dealing with the leg cramps.
