Can't be said often enough!
As for the potassium, please be careful! A little bit probably won't hurt, I've heard limit the salt substitute to 1/4 tsp/day, especially if you're drinking a lot of water. But too much potassium can also lead to arrhythmias!
If you increase your potassium and still think it's low (muscle weakness, cramps, etc) PLEASE contact your doc before increasing it more!
