The True Nutrients - Potassium

[@Talon_Fitness]

If you think there's anything about Potassium or relevant sources of Potassium I didn't talk about, feel free to say it here so everyone has easy access to the information.

I usually don't comment on videos, but I'll make an exception now, simply to appreciate the effort you put into your work. Very informative, easy to understand. Keep it up, and don't let unconstructive negative comments get to your head.

Seconded, these are most neeeded in our age.

[@Blue257]

Eating 'real' foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, cheeses, meats, seafood, yoghurt etc. Stuff like chips, crackers, biscuits, chocolates, etc will have far less nutrients than 'real' foods.

[@mereen750]

​@@Blue257And how do you think you're going to break down vegetables and seeds and more nuts which are seeds? We cannot digest plants even 1%.

[@snowy8926]

Babe wake up, nutritions man just dropped another banger.

[@Lennybird91]

One of the most important and underrated nutritional topics of our time. Finally, we're waking up to how important it is, relative to sodium. Another important note: DON'T take your RDA of potassium all at once. Your kidneys and body can't absorb the serum (blood) potassium that quickly all at once, which is why it's important with certain nutrients to absorb slow and steady rather than a bolus. Even the massive potassium pill doctors give you are time-released.

[@patfuryy]

I've had severe Hypokalemia once and it could've been fatal. Woke up super tired and felt lazy so I kept staying in bed but after an hour later I figured I couldn't move single muscle in my body. Tried my best but fell down on the floor next to my bed, fortunately my phone was still on a charger so I yanked it down by the cable that was luckily next to my hand and called the ambulance. This paralysis was no joke and I'm fortunate that my heart kept going. My Potassium level was at 1.8mmol. Doc was baffled and said "Didn't know you can survive that."

[@colressliker]

my grandpa is on a renal diet and as i have to cook for him it makes me think about what he has to avoid (Usually sodium, potassium, and phosphorus) so it's had me wondering what exactly are those minerals and what they do and how they help the body function. this is a great youtube channel!

[@an0therdimensi0n99]

maybe make grandpa aware that any time something is cooked, you burn all the nutrients out of it.

[@noamtashma617]

​@@an0therdimensi0n99that's not true... cooking does change the food, but it doesn't just burn all nutrients. Cooking can make food more nutritious in some ways. It all depends on the food, method of cooking, etc.

[@pash9516]

I'd love to see a deep dive on seaweed! As a seaweed enjoyer, and also someone who was advised to eat seaweed regularly (along with a diet rich in green fibrous veggies) to help with a chronic condition I have, I always find it strange when it's missing from lists of certain nutrient sources!

[@Aguarilada]

Love the videos. Would be amazing to see a video on supplements, specifically L-carnitine, ashwagandha and glutamine. Thanks for all the info you provide!

[@bacon_1866]

Good breakdown on the importance of potassium. I have Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis and have to take two diuretics: Acetazolamide and Spironolactone. I have to modify my diet and workout routine , but it is still possible to live a normal, healthy life 👍

[@jlg3315]

i find potassium very confusing. there is no way most of us get anywhere near 3-5000 mg per day. it seems to me a person would have to eat a fairly specific diet daily and a lot of it.

[@DevilRitual]

Do you drink water? in 1l of averege bottle water you have 1.1mg of potassium which is like 33% od daily recommended size. Add to this all food you eat during a day, and bam you are at finish line

[@Storiaron]

Most of us are also iron deficient to varying levels. People just accept suboptimal health as normal if they dont know it isn't normal and could be improved.

[@rorykr]

@@DevilRitualdrinking water has extremely negligible amounts of potassium in it. 1.1mg is next to nothing. You would have to drink 3,000 liters of water per day just to meet your minimum intake off water alone. Treated tap water has around 8mg per liter according the the WHO. That means at most you’d be getting about 30mg of potassium per day from water. That’s not even 1% of the average daily recommended intake.

[@rorykr]

You also have to consider that meat has a large amount of potassium in it as well. If you have an 8oz steak with a potato, that’s already 1,100mgs. Say you had milk and cereal for breakfast, that’s an easy 500mgs. A salad for lunch can easily be over 1000 if you pick wisely, and have meat with it. Fruits for a snack and you’ve got over 500 more mgs.

[@LionofTruth182]

Exactly. It’s near impossible to get it through foods alone.

[@ranmyaku4381]

Love your videos. I would say some really important but overlooked nutrients would be copper, zinc, Vitamin B12 and D, boron, chromium, magnesium, quercetin and silica. I would seriously love if you did a video exploring or even ranking. One on bitter greens especially the over looked ones rarely used in North America and one on 'weeds' such as nettle, purslane, dandelion greens and root, lambs quarters, etc. Their is some really great nutrients on these foods and they really deserve a spotlight. Edit.... Dandelion greens is an amazing source of potassium too. It is a very good diuretic but doesn't deplete the body of potassium either in case anyone wants to know.

[@Trustmage]

Was hospitalized 2 years ago with only 0.8 in pottasium what a lesson I learned there

[@ThaDoggo]

yes, however there isnt so much potassium in bananas as one might think.

[@khronos2213]

​@@ThaDoggo They're low calorie and easy to eat. That's why.

[@zerrodefex]

@@ThaDoggo yeah I found it funny that for all the reputation of bananas and potassium they're actually at the bottom of the tier list for it. I had to find better sources because as much as I like bananas I wasn't about to eat 10 a day.

[@VVabsa]

You know. When I was a kid, I thought potassium was due to being from potatoes when I first heard it lol.

[@oenriqueo3oo572]

I thought that sodium came from soda.

[@dustinjones8887]

I've heard it did get it's name from potatoes. A long time ago, can't source it off hand.

[@marius0448]

Isn't potassium present in high amount in potatoes though? AFAIK After searching, potatoes have a good amount of potassium, not very much though

[@Paul-in-Viet-Nam]

It's easy to understand why you'd think that. I'm sure you'll be delighted to know that the dominant mineral available in potatoes is - you guessed it - POTASSIUM.

[@jaelancaster5506]

Would love a Magnesium video Your videos have been more than helpful ❤

[@dustinjones8887]

I eat 95% whole foods, plant and animal, and have a pretty big appetite, yet when I do calculations of my normal daily diet, that 3,400 # is pretty hard to reach. Not just potassium, but several others too. I often wonder if the RDA's are correct.

[@WeighedWilson]

I wonder more if our foods have the amounts of minerals in them that the charts claim. If the soil is used up does the plant still have enough magnesium or potassium or whatever?

[@incrxdible9896]

@@WeighedWilsonprobably not, iodine deficiency is also more common because the soil is more used up, so they added it in salts

Great video, can’t wait for the other True Nutrients. Also can’t wait to explain to people why I suddenly started buying hemp seeds

[@MarijkeWillemsen990]

Love your channel, I subscribed. Since I had a shortage of potassium I bought Lo-salt, it has a combination of potassium and sodium. A very cheap solution for adding potassium (and reducing the salt). I also take 500 mg of magnesium citrate per day. I don’t know I I have a shortage of magnesium, but the dose from 200 to 400 improved my blood pressure. I read that there is less magnesium in plants than some 100 years ago due to the way of agriculture. Therefore I could very well.be that a lot of people have a shortage of magnesium.

[@A.Survivor98]

[@williamlevy6964]

I need to consume foods to recover after exercise and Potassium is a must. I guess my instincts with salmon and spinach were on point. Now I just need to consume those fruits and nuts as a pre work out/ breakfast meal to keep my potassium levels high 24/7. I'm a strong believer of two meals a day and liquid/fruit diet of water and fruit juices (lemons, limes, oranges etc.) to maintain instant release energy levels. A normal sized breakfast with slow release carbs, pro biotics and potassium and a MASSIVE DINNER with protein, fats, salt, greens (also with potassium), fat soluble vitamin vegetables (beans and carrots) and colourful vegetables for other essential nutrients.

How about Magnesium types and use. Learned lots on the Potasium video, thanks.

[@jackt1450]

I’m intrigued by the fact that more of our bodily water is composed dominantly by potassium rather than sodium. Does that mean that sports drinks like body armor that prioritize potassium in their electrolytes are more effective than gatorade that prioritizes sodium? I never knew potassium was so important, but I think I get a good intake given my love for pistachios

[@OptimusCrime4444]

So to eat your recommended amount of potassium you just neet to eat around 530g of salmon or around 5 avocados if you are a vegetarian. Potassium is always low when I do my week of tracking my food intake and I find it extremly difficult to implement a solution. It is not like vitamin c, were you can eat half a bell pepper and you are good. Potassium is always an effort from your whole diet. Its very frustrating when even the densest sources of it only satisfy your daily need at over a pound eaten... (200g of hemp seed is around 1000 kcal so not the ideal source either) Talon Fitness, if you make the video about vitamin E please to the richest sources per calorie and not per weight. It is impossible to find good sources for it

@@Talon_Fitness Oh ok. How so? I just ask because i really enjoy your videos and value your opinion.

[@Talon_Fitness]

Well what do you mean by diets? When I think diets I think named diets. Carnivore. Vegan. Keto. Low fat. Mediterranean. The reason why there's so many of them is because they don't work for everyone. There's too many variables regarding an individual and their diet even just considering where they are and where they're going. And also importantly what they enjoy and will actually consistently eat. What I'm trying to do is hand you the building blocks to build an individual diet. What are the essential pieces, what are the pieces that can be replaced, exchanged and rotated. Trying to get you to think about what you need because no one else is actually going to be able to tell you that. Sorry there's no easy answers. And if you build that diet yourself and it turns out to be a popular model then great for you. But there really is no easy way to objectively measure such complexities like diets Sorry for the long response I'm just so annoyed that I'm not getting this point across in the videos somehow

For atleast 2 days a week i use potatoes as my carb source however hitting 3.5 grams of potassium daily seems really hard even with the amount of potatoes i eat (about 600 grams and it has around 2.4grams of potassium) the amount of chicken i eat also has 1.2 grams of potassium(500grams of chicken) but other days it is really hard to reach 3.4 so wht should we do Maybe hitting "potassium goals" is not that impotant for muscle growth but it really helps with the water retention and puffy face
