hi guys in this video we’re gonna talk

about why potassium is so important in

you to your body okay the more deficient

you are in potassium the more the

pancreas has to pump out insulin so it

puts a lot more stress on the pancreas

and if you’re a diabetic this is not a

good thing so potassium is the nutrient

that is needed the most in the body you

need close to 5,000 milligrams potassium

is a mineral and you need large amounts

of it

it’s needed in almost every single cell

for energy because there’s a pump in the

cell that generates energy and if you’re

deficient in potassium you are going to

be tired potassium is also needed to

make muscle protein it’s needed to make

other types of protein as well it’s also

used to store glucose as glycogen which

basically is a string of glucose

molecules in a chain but each molecule

of glucose needs potassium and so all

the cells have glycogen except the brain

and the red blood cell okay and that’s

why your brain is dependent on how much

sugar is in your blood and if there’s

not enough sugar in your blood it will

create all sorts of symptoms like

fatigue and moodiness and mainly kind of

brain fog now junk food depletes

potassium okay it’s very heavy on sodium

but very low in potassium

adrenal stress which means high cortisol

will also deplete potassium the

combination of both is not good in some

resistance which is a pre-diabetes and

diabetes will block your ability to

absorb potassium because one of the

functions of insulin is to help absorb

potassium so if you have been some

resistance you’re not going to absorb it

so now you’re the requirement it’s even

higher but by taking potassium getting

it from the diet you can decrease the

need for insulin and help someone that

has diabetes so if your insulin

resistant or you’re diabetic and you’re

not consuming enough potassium you’re

probably not going to overcome the blood

sugar situation okay so what’s the

significant symptoms

it means that our bodies require a large

quantity of vegetable okay to be healthy

so if you’re a pre-diabetic or a

diabetic and you’re consuming maybe one

cup of vegetable per day that’s not

gonna cut it

and also if you’re taking a supplement

that has 99 milligrams of potassium it’s

not gonna even come close you would have

to consume about what 47 pills a day

so because insulin is involved in so

many problems health-wise to be healthy

you must consume minimally 7 cups to 10

cups of vegetables or salad every single

day okay there’s just no shortcuts oh so

now you know what to do so go ahead and
