hey guys today I’m going to talk about

the relationship between potassium and

stomach acid okay like that’s

hydrochloric acid another videos I’m

always recommending taking apple cider

vinegar for digestion to help increase

the acidity of the stomach and sometimes

batain how to chloride sea salt to help

the build-up the chlorides to make

hydrochloric acid

but there’s another nutrient that is

critical in making stomach acid okay and

that is potassium if you don’t have

enough potassium it’s gonna be very

difficult to make hydrochloric acid but

let’s talk about the symptoms if you’re

low in stomach acid okay you’re not

going to be able to digest red meat

you’re not gonna like it’s gonna make

you feel bad you’re just not going to

want it okay and it’s going to create

bloating gas belching burping

constipation and then acid reflux

eventually these are some of the

symptoms so in addition to taking

hydrochloric acid you want to make sure

you have enough of potassium as well

where do you get that

vegetables very key source

I mean potassium there’s also in red

meat and other meats and even chicken

but not as much

avocados beet leaves so when you’re

eating your salad realize you’re helping

your digestion big-time okay eventually

but potassium is critical in the

stomach’s ability to just make

hydrochloric acid the last point I want

to make is that people don’t usually

realize the amount of potassium they

need they need a lot they need 4700

milligrams every single day 47 hundred

milligrams that’s for a healthy person

if the person has rheumatoid arthritis

and they’re stressed out they might need

5 to 6,000 milligrams they just need

more if they have insulin resistance or

they’re diabetic they need a lot of

potassium it’s kind of like a the gap

that I see between people getting

healthy and what they’re doing they

don’t consume enough vegetables they

just don’t do it

and so you

may want to take an electrolyte powder

with more potassium or just force

yourself to eat more vegetables because

this is critical the amount of

vegetables that you need and a given

date to reach this would be about seven

to ten cups that’s high quality greens

not iceberg lettuce but also you’ll get

potassium from the other things that

you’re eating as well even nuts even

some in eggs so it’s not just all coming

from the vegetable but I want to just

make a note that stomach acid is very

very important in breaking down protein

absorbing minerals and killing pathogens

and you want to make sure you have

enough potassium to fortify this to make

sure that this is supported all right

thanks for watching so I’m doing a

survey for future videos on topics that

you are interested in this one is going

to be on your biggest keto difficulty if

you wouldn’t mind filling out the survey

down below I put a link in the

description please fill it out thank you

so much
