hey guys today we’re going to talk about

potassium again I’m just really

fascinated with this mineral you may not

be very excited about it but I think

it’s really interesting I want to talk

about the fact that potassium has the

ability to protect your kidneys heart

and arteries now we’re told the opposite

we’re told that potassium might cause

Kitty damage but that would only occur

if you have chronic end-stage kidney

failure okay that’s rare what about in

every other situation now there’s one

study I want to mention I put a link

down below and yes it was done in mice

but check this out they deprived my sub

potassium for two to six weeks that’s it

and they actually found kidney damage

the kidneys were filling it with fat

becoming calcified atrophied means

shrinks necrotic it was breaking down

and basically creates necrosis of the

filtration unit which is degeneration of

the filter and that’s what the kidney is

if the filter filters your blood and

here’s another study I’ll put the link

down below and this is quite incredible

talks about potassium protecting against

stroke it allows cerebral arteries it’s

arteries of your brain to carry blood at

high pressure without damage this is

incredible because so many people were

at risk for stroke especially diabetics

especially people with blood sugar

issues and it’s such a simple fix you

consume more potassium foods and we

can’t forget blood pressure potassium

has ability to lower blood pressure and

decrease the risk of kidney stones I

mean how many people are on blood

pressure medication and they’re not told

to increase their potassium they’re not

told to increase their vegetables

they’re told to decrease their sodium

decreasing your sodium has like this

much effect increase your potassium has

a much larger effect on blood pressure

all right now let’s talk about potassium

deficiencies and what causes them number

one

a low potassium diet persons not

consuming enough of vegetables laxatives

diuretics which people take to lower

blood pressure when the actual cause is

low potassium but the diuretic depletes

the potassium all right cortisol now

and in the form of prednisone which is a

medication which is an anti-inflammatory

or just high levels of cortisol from the

adrenal and this is the stress hormone

that can deplete potassium all right and

ayah bt’s okay from several mechanisms

from the standpoint of stored glucose as

glycogen in order to store glycogen you

need potassium so if you don’t have

enough potassium you’re not gonna be

able to have enough glycogen and then

you’re gonna blood sugar problems okay

so you’re gonna have highs and lows from

that alone when you have instant

resistance you can’t absorb potassium

that well usually diabetics become

diabetic because they’re eating too many

refined carbohydrates refined

carbohydrates are a lot of carbohydrate

in the refined state without potassium

like for example table sugar now cane

sugar by the way if you consume cane

sugar as a whole food it is loaded with

potassium molasses has a lot of

potassium that’s the waste product from

sugar but the pure refined white sugar

is completely void of potassium so when

you consume it you deplete yourself of

potassium because one of the symptoms of

a high pulse rate is low potassium then

we have other refined carbs in the form

of wheat when you take whole-grain

usually get some potassium but when you

refine it you deplete the potassium not

to mention the B vitamins and other

nutrients the symptoms of a potassium

deficiency are not only high blood

pressure but fatigue and loss of stamina

you don’t have that endurance like you

had at one time leg cramps constipation

and there’s many others but the bottom

line is if you want to protect your

kidney your arteries in your heart start

consuming more vegetables I’m gonna

recommend salads and other greens but

realize that we need 4700 milligrams per

day okay that’s a lot you would have to

consume 7 to 10 cups of salad or

vegetables each day alright guys thanks
