What is a good diet to keep potassium low.

I was wondering the same thing having moved to Miami from New England. I googled the issue and it appears that it's not just high humidity, but high heat. A number of articles review those on dialysis, BUT read below. I stopped searching after reading the study interpretation below and added the issue to my ever growing list for my Nephrologist.
Interpretation
Higher ambient heat exposure is associated with more rapid eGFR decline in those with established chronic kidney disease. Efforts to mitigate heat exposure should be tested as part of strategies to attenuate chronic kidney disease progression.

Interesting- seems like they are more focused on ambient heat than humidity in this study but in Miami you will get a good dose of both I guess. I would guess that dehydration might be a significant factor even more than the actual temperature. Make sure to stay hydrated. I wonder about people living in a climate like Arizona desert area with high heat and low humidity fare.
