How do you get "too much potasium in your diet"?

Potassium is the chemical term for mineral salt.

High potassium levels can occur due to a variety of reasons, such as consuming too much potassium salt in the diet; the inability of the kidneys to excrete potassium normally into the urine; potassium leaking from the tissues and cells into the blood; or due to acidosis. Although, about three quarters of all the cases of hyperkalemia is because of renal, or kidney, disease. (http://www.buzzle.com/articles/high-potassium-leve...
