Potassium recommended daily allowance

One banana contains what percent of our recommended daily allowance for potassium ... 

The recommended daily allowance for dietary potassium intake is approximately 50 mEq/day. Potassium is found in abundance in fruits, vegetables, and meats. The typical American ingests approximately 50 to 150 mEq of potassium daily." Nearly all of this is absorbed, with only 10 to 20 mEq eliminated in feces. The amount eliminated in the feces increases, however, in patients with diarrhea, and perhaps in those with underlying chronic kidney disease (CKD).5... 

Generally, seaweed contains high ash content indicating appreciable amounts of minerals. Mineral content of seaweed can account for up to 36% of its dry mass and mineral macronutrients include sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, chlorine, sulfur, and phosphorus whereas the micronutrients include iodine, iron, zinc, copper, selenium, molybdenum, fluoride, manganese, boron, nickel, and cobalt. Among these minerals, calcium holds 4-7% of dry matter. At 7% calcium, a t) ical daily portion size of seaweed (8 g dry weight) provides 560 mg of calcium which is a considerable amount compared to its recommended daily allowance (800-1000 mg) (Anonymous, 2004). In seaweeds, calcium is available as calcium phosphate, and that is more bioavailable than the form of calcium in milk, which is calcium carbonate. 

In small amounts, the fluoride ion (often consumed as NaF) prevents tooth decay. According to the American Dental Association, an adult female should consume 3.0 mg of fluorine per day. Calculate the amount of sodium fluoride (45.24% F) that a woman should consume to get the recommended amount of fluorine. 78. The iodide ion, usually consumed as potassium iodide, is a dietary mineral essential to good nutrition. In countries where potassium iodide is added to salt, iodine deficiency or goiter has been almost completely eliminated. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for iodine is 150 /ig/day. How much potassium iodide (76.45% 1) should you consume to meet the RDA ... 

RECOMMENDED DAILY ALLOWANCE OE CHLORINE. The are no recommended dietary allowances for chlorine because the average person s intake of 3 to 9 g daily from foods and added table salt easily meets the requirements. Also, diets that provide sufficient sodium and potassium provide adequate chlorine. 

RECOMMENDED DAILY ALLOWANCE OF POTASSIUM. The exact potassium requirements are unknown. But it is known that the daily intake on typical diets far exceeds the requirements.
