Risks
-
A patient with heart disease may be prescribed beta-blockers, a type of medication that increases potassium levels in the blood. People taking beta blockers should be careful about consuming nutrient-dense foods (such as cooked kale and bananas) and should only take them in moderation. When patients with kidney problems take too much potassium, it causes serious health problems or even death. People who are also taking Warfarin or any other type of blood thinner should also be careful about consuming kale because this vegetable interferes with the action of blood thinners.
