When does potassium deficiency occur?

As a result of increased sweating and sometimes spring diets, potassium deficiency develops primarily in women. For some, it's to the point where it prevents sweating. Its deficiency can occur when using strong diuretics, or with diarrhea or vomiting. In this case, it can also lead to muscle weakness or nausea. The problem can be easily treated with a dietary supplement containing potassium or by eating foods high in potassium (eg potatoes, tomatoes, green vegetables). A diet rich in potassium has a beneficial effect on blood pressure and can also reduce high blood pressure. Fresh fruits or vegetables such as bananas and oranges contain large amounts. Red meat, poultry, milk and yogurt are also rich sources of potassium.

If someone drinks too much coffee, the fatigue they struggle with may be caused by potassium loss. Coffee, alcohol, sugar and diuretics are enemies of this mineral and drain it from the body. Anyone consuming such things should be very careful to get enough potassium. Since potassium contributes to the normal functioning of muscles, appropriate supplements are recommended for athletes or people engaged in physical work.

The effects of potassium on the body:

• It contributes to the proper functioning of the nervous system
• Contributes to normal muscle function
• It is involved in maintaining normal blood pressure
