Pots: High Sodium Chicken and Quinoa Power Bowl
Benefits for POTS: ✅ Sodium & Electrolyte Support: Sea salt replenishes sodium, essential for increasing blood volume and reducing dizziness, fatigue, and rapid heartbeat in POTS patients. ✅ Lean Protein (Chicken): Stabilizes blood sugar, supports muscle mass, and helps with fatigue — a common complaint in POTS. ✅ Complex Carbohydrates (Quinoa): A balanced carb source that provides sustained energy without spikes and crashes. Also rich in magnesium, which can help with muscle tension and regulation of heart rhythm. ✅ Healthy Fats (Avocado & Olive Oil): Avocado contains potassium and magnesium — electrolytes essential for hydration and blood pressure regulation. Olive oil supports anti-inflammatory pathways and overall cardiovascular health. ✅ Hydration & Cooling (Cucumber & Lemon): Cucumber is hydrating and rich in silica and antioxidants, while lemon helps stimulate digestion and adds a refreshing touch, supporting hydration from multiple angles. ✅ Optional Feta (or DF Feta): Adds calcium and sodium. If dairy is tolerated, feta is a good source of both — otherwise, a DF option still brings flavor and texture.
