5 Signs of a Potassium Deficiency & HOW to Fix

[@lizziekonings5872]

1. Increased sensitivity to salt 2. Chronic muscle stiffness 3. Numbness / tingling 4. Mental fatigue & mood swings 5. Insomnia If you are cramping or getting stiff during a workout it is most likely a potassium issue. If you are cramping or getting stiff a few hours after a workout it is most likely a magnesium issue. Tips: 1. Add sodium to your water in the morning and in the evening before going to bed. 2. MCT oils 3. Electrolytes 4. Avocados 5. Beet greens 6. Coconut water (without sugar) 7. Clams, mussels 8. Pumpkin seeds

[@edithdotson5617]

@@lowelldagdag5504 You didn't ask me, but may I suggest that the best ways to get your sodium is wrapped up in minerals? The salts that provide that are available at health food stores and some whole food stores. Two examples are Celtic gray salt that have 84 minerals and Himalayan pink salt that has 74 minerals. Sea salt is pretty decent too. No refined salt with only sodium and chloride plus iodide is good for you.These contain anticaking agents and have been bleached of their health promoting abilities. Worse of all the free use of it contributes to the epidemic of high blood pressure. Hope you find this helpful.

@@mackosajt86 ​ I struggled to get just 2000 - 3000 mg when I first tried to build up my potassium levels. I spent hours every week going to the store and trying and preparing many different foods - and like so many other people, I was just about ready to give up trying to reach that goal of 4700 mg .... when I accidently found that there were High Levels of Potassium in salt substitutes. I then looked up where to find salt substitutes aka Potassium - and found most grocery stores carry several varieties next to regular salt. I use 'No Salt' in a granular form to mimic the usability of real Salt. I often blend it into V8 ... or other foods. I even blend it into warm Water during the day to avoid breaking my no food "Intermittent Fasting" period. Just don't use too much on an empty stomach as it might cause irritation.

Symptoms of low potassium: • Muscle weakness • Difficulty breathing • Constipation • Cramps and twitching • Arrhythmias • Hypertension • Fatigue • Alkalosis • Insomnia • High pulse rate • Pulsatile tinnitus Top potassium deficiency causes: • A lack of potassium in the diet • Junk food • Vomiting • Diarrhea • Diuretics • Stress or Cushing’s syndrome • Sugar and refined carbs • The keto diet (initially) • Drinking too much water • Fasting • Low magnesium • Laxatives • Injuries or surgery The best sources of potassium: 1. Beet leaves 2. Leafy greens 3. Avocados 4. Squash 5. Lima beans 6. Salmon Bananas, oranges, cantaloupes, honeydew, apricots, grapefruit (some dried fruits, such as prunes, raisins, and dates, are also high in potassium) Cooked spinach. Cooked broccoli. ---- Raw Potatoes. In fact, potatoes rank highest for potassium content among the top 20 most frequently consumed raw vegetables and the top 20 most frequently consumed raw fruits. One medium potato (5.3 ounces) with the skin contains 620 mg of potassium. One medium potato delivers roughly 17% of the daily value (DV). That's about 40% more potassium than you'll find in a banana, which only contains 422 mg, or 9% DV. In addition to potassium, 1 medium potato provides 5 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein, vitamin C and magnesium.

This is such important information. I was hospitalized last fall with critically low potassium levels / Hypokalemia. My situation was unique as it was as strange chain events that led up to this medical emergency-being on a non potassium-sparing diuretic, having surgery (IV fluids deplete your K+ stores) and then having a mild heat stroke days later-leading me to overhydrate, further depleting my potassium stores. I was mildly symptomatic in the months that preceded this and therefore was diligent in supplementing with electrolyte powder but it just wasn’t enough and the events that followed nearly caused me to lose my life. Electrolyte imbalance is no joke.

I've been dealing with an electrolyte imbalance for years. The only symptoms I ever have are insomnia, and headaches. It recently got worse, last night I laid in bed from midnight, until 6am without so much as a single yawn. Wide awake, as if it was daytime. About 10 days ago I stopped eating any snacks with sugar in them, and for some reason it has made my electrolyte imbalance much worse. So I got out of bed and started researching what electrolytes were in the snacks I was eating, and discovered that magnesium is in chocolate. So, I went downstairs and ate a handful of dark chocolate chips, a glass of milk, half a banana, and a teaspoon of liposomal magnesium, and within 10 minutes my headache was subsiding enough to try sleeping again, and managed to go to sleep within 30 mins, and slept for 3 hours. I have noticed that salty meals have been increasing my heart rate more than they should. I fast a lot, and I only drink coffee in the morning, and it often makes me urinate way more than it should. Some days, I'll urinate 7 to 10 times within the course of just 3 hours after drinking coffee, those are the worst days for me, and they seem to follow nights where I drank way too much water, which I've been learning to regulate my intake. It's almost like my kidneys are overactive. My urine is almost always foamy, which I've learned is protein that isn't being properly absorbed.

After several months of carnivore I found that I was Potassium and Magnesium deficient. I was taking in plenty of salt but still didn't feel right. These do come in meats but nowhere near the amounts needed on a daily basis. So I had to incorporate avocados, lettuce, and an occasional fruit. On certain days I also needed to supplement these. I felt a huge difference after doing this. Blood pressure stabilized and energy levels increased. Glucose control also improved

[@johnsterling5533]

Not to mention a carnivore diet isnt sustainable long term. Any diet that's unbalanced isnt gonna be sustainable long term.

[@JYAN2852]

@@johnsterling5533 I have tried multiple diets over the years. Like you said each one has its own benefits but also many disadvantages. Humans are monogastric omnivores, meaning that we ate pretty much anything and everything over the course of human evolution. In my journey I've come to the conclusion that I was focusing too much on the macronutrients when really I should have been focusing more on the micronutrients instead. The biochemistry processes and pathways all require essential and semi-essential micros in certain amounts. Most chronic diseases are a result of deficiencies that go unrecognized. These diets supplements are "tools" that we all can use to reverse diseases and optimize health to what our goals are. There are too much dogma and myopathy in each camp. Some diets are better than others, but each one has its downfalls. Are they sustainable? They can be if done right and micros are taken into account. Most people do not address the micros requirements unfortunately. I found that out with my insufficient daily intake of K and Mg being on carnivore. Keto is a more balanced way of eating in my opinion, but even that has its drawbacks if micros are not taken into account.

[@JYAN2852]

@@johnsterling5533 That's awesome on the weightloss! My goal was mainly to reverse health conditions that my doctors were not able to do with their pills. The weightloss was a bonus of course for me. I could not agree more on the vegan diets. Humans have an acid base digestive system and a short colon to ferment soluble fiber. I don't understand why anyone would deny ourselves of nutrient dense foods and essential amino acids that our stomach had evolved to break down and absorb. Sure they will argue that they can get all the amino acids they need with plants, but this goes back to the need to supplement. I think fasting is wonderful and necessary to heal and detoxify. But doing so also depletes us of essential micros, especially electrolytes. Most people doing keto/carn/paleo have incorporated IF into their routine without taking minerals into account. Me personally I switch diets around according mostly based on the season. I find that doing so works best for me personally to maintain proper balance. I do supplement when I feel I need to when I know that certain foods are lacking. This method has worked wonders for me. I get a lot of criticism by both carnivore and keto community members that their diets are perfect and should not have to supplement. To each their own of course. What works for me may not work for others and vice versa. Supplements are another "tool" that we can use if available. Just as how driving a car is not required but everyone drives.

[@gregjohnson902]

A very simple way to get enough potassium in your diet is to use a potassium chloride salt substitute such as Nu-Salt. I add a quarter teaspoon of Nu-Salt to my drinks and smoothies throughout the day to space out my daily consumption of potassium. A quarter teaspoon of Nu-Salt contains about 800 mg of potassium which is the most you want to consume per serving while trying to achieve a daily intake of 4700 mg of potassium per day (minimum daily recommended dosage). I also sprinkle it on food in addition to regular salt with Iodine. Your body also needs Iodine which is not in many sea salts and regular table salts, so I buy Morton’s special salt that contains Iodine.

Something he didn’t mention is temperature regulation. If you have problems with being to hot with covers at night, and hard to get that just right temp to sleep, probably not enough potassium. Also I have slept for a couple of hours and cannot get back to sleep with some potatoes or something with potassium.

I've been to the ER for Hypokalemia, very low potassium levels. They said I had acidic blood. They told me that my levels were at 2.7 and they said you run a serious risk of heart failure at 2.5. it's scary because you almost feel like you're going to have a seizure because your whole body is starting to contract on itself and starting to seize up. And that brain fog.... boy oh boy... 😂 Regardless it was because of my own stupidity (alcohol). I drink basically nothing but Powerade, Gatorade and Body Armour for electrolytes. And water, even got an app for tracking my water intake and make sure I'm drinking enough by reminding me. Lol but still battling the yeast beast. Nowhere near how I was. But I have had some symptoms that lead me to believe, I might be on the verge of Kidney failure. Had acute pancreatitis twice and almost had my liver start bleeding. But I'm striving to stop and get my life back. 29 years old and I can tell I took years off my life already. I want to cherish these years I do have left and I need to be sober to do it.

200mg of potassium when the recommended daily dose is over 2k or up to 4k? How is that cost friendly for LMNT

[@harshglare5017]

If you read Nutrition Facts labels, you might realize most of us are K deficient because the electrolytes are almost NEVER balanced: we should have AT LEAST a 1:1 ratio of K and NA. The LMNT product that is adverted is the perfect example of why most of us are all K deficient: for every 1mg of sodium consumed, we should have 1mg of potassium... we actually evolved consuming K:Na ratios that were more like 1.5:1... another good indicator that you are K deficient is menstrual cramps: the uterus is another muscle and it gets cramped like any other. The more stress in your life, the more K you need.

My father always carried a can of sardines in his pickup, as do I. I eat then after hunting or cutting firewood. But it wasn't until recently that I realized that if I ate them, I didn't get bad leg cramps later. I wasn't potassium deficient when I was young, so the sardines in olive oil were just a good source of protein to rebuild muscle & electrolytes. It appeared that as I got older that I was to be cursed with bad cramps after exertion and had assumed it was because I was not as active & out of shape. Nope. I started eating a banana, potatoes & eggs with an avocado for breakfast & sardines for lunch when cutting firewood in the fall, and magically, I stopped experiencing horrific leg & back cramps afterwards at night. Yahoo! I'm not just getting old! I bought some potassium & calcium supplements with Vitamin D, C, magnesium manganese, copper & zinc & keep them in my truck to take with the sardines as extra insurance. Another benefit to repleting my potassium deficiency is that when I wake up in the monning, I'm not groggy like I was for years. I'm wide awake when I get up. And I don't feel bloated when I eat (rarely) a meal at McDonald's. I assume that I was sensitive to the high sodium. Ive since told friends hiw to svoid leg cramps, snd they've thanked me. My generation were given salt pills in high school and we all assumed we still needed more water & salt. We were never taught about potassium. PS: A can of V8 juice os a great souce of electrolytes to slam in if need. Alcoholics often drink a Bloody Mary in the morning to recover, energize & start in on another day of drinking. I doubt they know or care why they feel better, just that it works.

[@quantquill]

I wake up with horrible charley horse cramps in my legs at least every other week. I'm not an athlete - far from it. My exercise "regime" is walking 1.1 to 2 miles, 2 or 3 times a week. I take a multivitamin, an extra D3, and a B multi every day. In a Dr. Berg video, he stated that if you can hear your heart thumping in your ears, it probably indicates low potassium, and I used to have that much worse, but now I drink electrolytes most days. I also try to take a magnesium pill every night before bed. Even then, I'll still get cramps sometimes. It's horrible waking out of a sound sleep with my calf muscle knotted in an apple-sized lump. So painful! I started tracking my macros on myfitnesspal on April 2nd, and I haven't reached the RDA of 3500 mg of potassium a single day (doesn't include counts from the vitamins, just from my foods). I'm usually only at about 2000, or 57%. Most days, I also exceed the recommended limit on sodium by a 1000 mg. Sure not doing myself any favors. I'll give the LMNT a try, it has higher potassium content than the electrolyte mix I bought recently at Whole Foods. Little concerned about the amount of sodium in LMNT, though. Thanks for making a sample pack available. When I just purchased it, it included 7 packs and 3-5 day shipping is $5 to the US.

[@davidwilliams4839]

the RDA here is about 4,700 mg/day for a man.

[@CyrilAndPriscilla]

I've had similar cramping issues, and also muscle twitching. (Do you get muscle twitching as well?) These improved very much when I increased potassium intake and decreased sodium intake.

[@jmvioli]

If the recommended daily value of potassium is our guide, even the foods "rich in potassium" would require unrealistic consumption amounts to reach this. Even the mentioned electrolyte LMNT contains just 6% of the recommended daily value per serving. So, how much potassium really needs to be consumed daily?

[@contrarian717]

This continues to puzzle me as well. If I do plenty potassium foods I still don't come close to the RDA, and then my protein intake goes too low as well.

So I started sperimenting with supplements right after I woke up in the middle of the night, and I found out that potassium put me right back to sleep in like 20 minutes untill 8 am !!! 8 AM !!!

Recently I had the following happen for me. To note, I am a large guy. 6'2", around 290lbs, way overweight. I have difficulties exercising due to neck spinal surgery I had about 11 years ago. Lucky to even being able to walk & move, but one constant is is that if I push myself even slightly too hard, my neck causes me to have extreme migraines and thus put me out of commission for the rest of the day. So, Sunday, I decided to push myself and to run/sprint the length of one of the small alleys near me. Felt decent, rested about a minute or so, then did it once more. Cooled down with a short walk, didn't think much of it. Later in the evening, I decided I was going to so a roughly 20-4 fast (most I have ever done was 72 hours). Combine this with the fact that the next day (Monday), I was out & about most of the day in the sun and walking a lot, by the end of my fast, my body was cramping up like crazy. Tried to do the sugar free gatorade/powerade, a Muscle Milk and eventually a decent burger & some bananas later in the evening, as well as salt water. Throughout most of the night my muscles all over were cramping like crazy. I still am kind of feeling sore in the muscles from it all. Any idea what the cause could have been as I don't think my body has ever cramped up to that degree before.
