Did you know that detecting a potassium deficiency can be pretty easy? Sure, there are the more obvious symptoms like not tolerating salt or magnesium. But there are also signs like heart problems, fatigue, muscle cramps, and even food allergies.
It's actually crucial for our health, especially when it comes to the foundational triad of nutrients that includes sodium and magnesium. Together, they help to assimilate all other nutrients in our bodies and keep us properly hydrated.
Plus, potassium and sodium work together to form an important cell membrane pump that allows nutrients to come in and waste to go out. Without it, we can become what's known as "allergic to everything," since we're not properly absorbing nutrients.
And let's not forget about magnesium either; it has more roles in the body than any other nutrient, making it essential to our overall health. To get the most out of potassium, it's best to get it from whole foods like fruits, veggies, and even seafood. Supplements may not be absorbed as well.
Did you know that potassium deficiency could even lead to dairy allergies? It's true - even raw milk can cause problems if you're not getting enough potassium in your diet.
When it comes down to getting enough potassium, it's more than just reaching for a single food. You've got to consider things like carb levels and nutritional balance. Sure, bananas come to mind – but they're not for everyone. Some folks find bananas too sugary, and the greener unripe ones are better.
Sweet potatoes and yams are known to be good sources too, but cooked starches might not be the most healing. Another surprising fact: some people with potassium deficiency are actually allergic to potatoes. That's one for the unexplainable book.
But don't worry, there are plenty of options. Fresh-made vegetable juices not only pack a potassium punch but are also easy for your body to digest. Plus, juicing offers so many other benefits – so go ahead, drink up (if you can tolerate it, of course).
Healthfully,
