    Potassium deficiency is incredibly common and can lead to serious problems. Find out about the most serious symptom of potassium deficiency and some of the causes of low potassium.

    2:17 Low potassium and blood pressure
    2:41 Potassium deficiency symptoms
    5:11 Sudden cardiac death
    5:52 What causes potassium deficiency?
    In this video, we’ll discuss the causes and symptoms of potassium deficiency. We need a lot of potassium-around 4700 mg per day! Most people eat a lot of junk food or processed foods high in salt and not enough potassium, which throws off the sodium-potassium ratio. Your body needs a 2:1 ratio of potassium to sodium.
    Every cell in the body has a sodium-potassium pump that helps to generate electrical current around the cell, which powers the nervous and muscular systems.
    Potassium is also important for the health of your blood vessels. Low potassium is one of the leading causes of high blood pressure; however, it isn’t often used in conventional medicine as a treatment. Over 90% of high blood pressure is essential hypertension, which means the cause is “unknown.”
    Here are some signs of potassium deficiency:
    •Fatigue
    •Muscular issues
    •Constipation
    •Tremors
    •Abnormal heart rhythm
    •Mental issues (delirium, hallucinations, psychosis, depression)
    •Headaches
    •Low back pain
    •Dizziness
    •Nocturia
    •Edema
    •Increased pulse rate
    •Increased risk of stroke
    The most serious symptom of a potassium deficiency is sudden cardiac death. If you have low potassium, your risk for sudden cardiac death increases by 10x.
    You could end up with low potassium if you’re not consuming enough potassium-rich foods like leafy greens, squash, nuts, shellfish, bone broth, avocado, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
    Other potassium deficiency causes include the following:
    •Consuming refined sugar, refined starches, and refined grains
    •Stress
    •Steroids
    •Gut inflammation
    •Alcohol consumption

    I was having terrible symptoms 5 years ago. I was weak in the legs, dizzy, basically all the mental issues as well, very high pulse and unable to catch my breath. One day i couldnt function or even think clearly so i called 9-1-1. The emt's were sure i was having a drug overdose. And tbh that made sense. So i began to think i was being poisened. At the hospital i was told i had no drugs in me which i was relieved. But my potassium was extremely low. They gave me these huge potassium pills and my heart when back to normal within an hour. I was so happy. I felt like i just escaped death.

    Sudden cardiac death killed my mother, who was recovering from colon cancer surgery in a rehab facility. I alerted the staff that potassium was a huge problem for her. She stood up for her physical rehab at the facility and died on the spot. Of, course, I didn’t know that until the hospital called me. The young er doc apologized profusely-said when she came in, her heart was like a stone and she was depleted of potassium. Maybe Dr. Berg should do a video on rehab profit centers.

    - 01:00⚡ Potassium is essential for generating electrical current to power the nervous and muscular systems.
    - 02:00💔 Symptoms of potassium deficiency include fatigue, muscle problems, abnormal heart rhythms, and mental issues.
    - 03:00💧 Potassium is needed to store glucose as glycogen, releasing water when depleted.
    - 04:00🩺 Potassium keeps arteries soft and elastic, crucial for blood pressure regulation.
    - 05:00❤ Sudden cardiac death and heart failure are the most serious risks of potassium deficiency.
    - 06:00🥦 Leafy greens, nuts, shellfish, and avocados are potassium-rich foods to prevent deficiency.

    Cream of Tartar is another great source of high amounts of potassium. When I had adrenal fatigue I use to make myself Adrenal cocktail that includes orange juice or coconut water, a dash of Celtic salt and CofT. Coconut water is great addition of potassium and electrolytes while Vitamin C helps our cells absorb the potassium. Check online for recipes for Adrenal Cocktails for more information.

I also ended up having to have two bags of IV potassium to get it corrected, while I was in the hospital on another matter. I had been trying to correct the issue with diet at times and supplements at other times for years. My ND would test me to see what I needed and then when I tried to add it, I would get leg cramps.

    A tip for if you are looking for an easy way to increase potassium in your diet: Light salt! There are lots of brands on the market that use a blend of potassium chloride and sodium chloride. I use a brand that consists of 70% potassium chloride. Once dissolved, it tastes just like regular salt! (a bit weaker though, you will have to add more than usual)

    • @intranger2848
      @intranger2848 Před 13 dny +3

      And other than that, garden grown vegetables usually contain much more potassium than their mass farmed rivals.

    • @intranger2848
      @intranger2848 Před 13 dny +3

      Lastly, do remember that the 5g per day is based on an a multitude of diets. Certain diets (high carb) diets simply require more potassium to keep the blood potassium solid.

    • @intranger2848
      @intranger2848 Před 13 dny +1

      Besides, one needs less potassium if one decreases a previous over consumption of sodium, another pro of using a potassium salt mix!

    Based on what I read, taking Magnesium increases potassium levels as well. Should one still take more potassium? I’m more afraid of an overdose when it comes to potassium.

    • @seanaames6855
      @seanaames6855 Před 13 dny +1

      Taking more Magnesium than your body needs can throw off the Magnesium/Potassium/Sodium balance. As a 58yo woman. I only need about 340mg of magnesium per day from all sources, but I need 4700mg of potassium from all sources. Salting your food with a good natural salt should take care of sodium needs.

    @DrBerg I am traveling to a tropical destination where there will be an abundance of tropical fruit and baked goods that are different from my hometown. I want to try what that destination has to offer but I have been trying to eat low carb here in the States. I also have not reached my ideal weight and lately due to stress, I have not lost any weight. (I am a woman in my early 30s so I also think my cycle affects this as well. Most of my weight is in my stomach so I am definitely not keto-adapted nor metabolically flexible yet) Any suggestions on how to do this? I would be gone for a little over a week so more than likely I would be having something sweet (smoothie, fruit, or a freshly baked item and rice/macaroni is often included with meals) at least once a day. I plan on walking/other cardio while I am there but I know that walking would not be enough. Should I take charcoal every night? Vinegar on my rice? Also, I know that fat with carbs can lead to weight gain but I also wondered about when people include some fat with carbs to stabilize the glycemic load on the system when the food item is consumed. How do these (2) different goals/concepts play together in terms of weight loss goals and preventing the crash in blood sugar? Any suggestions would be helpful!!! After my trip, I plan on also getting a trainer to also assist with my fitness goals.

    As soon as I reduced regular table salt (NaCl) intake and switched to potassium salt (KCl), my BP is much better regulated and I do not need medication anymore! It would be great if all doctors share this with their patients rather than just prescribing medications which doesn’t resolve the root cause and can also cause side effects.

      Hello, we need a lot of potassium-around 4700 mg per day! Most people eat a lot of junk food or processed foods high in salt and not enough potassium, which throws off the sodium-potassium ratio. Your body needs a 2:1 ratio of potassium to sodium.

    Hyperkalemia- high potassium is a risk for people with kidney disease. The kidneys help regulate potassium and if your kidneys are functioning low you can't consume high amounts, it can cause a heart problem that way too. My mom passed from kidney disease, we were told to watch the high potassium foods.
