Fighting Deficiencies

Put on your Big Girl panties and suck it up. This is my attitude (after some initial sniveling) regarding the discovery that my blood pressure med was leaching potassium from my body. My doc gave me a list of foods high in potassium that would help replace that element.

Oh, poor me, avocados and oranges are on the list!

Hence this simple salad of romaine leaves, tangerine segments (do tangerine's count?), red onion and avocado, drizzled with a little balsamic vinaigrette.

My potassium numbers are up into the low normal range and my energy has returned. Life is tough sometimes, but when you have true grit, as I do, you can handle the challenge.
