hi guys dr. Berg here in this video I

want to talk about the importance of

potassium with preserving muscle mass

and reducing body fat okay here is the

facts every gram of protein needs 2.6

million tons of potassium that means

without enough potassium you can’t hold

protein or amino acids in your body and

that’s one of the reasons why people get

atrophy especially being a diabetic

diabetics have insulin resistance and

when you have insulin resistance

you cannot absorb the calcium very much

anymore so there bar there goes your

muscle protein it goes in amino acids so

potassium is a very important mineral in

preserving the muscle mass and the

density and preventing atrophy but also

each glucose molecule needs one

potassium ion now we’ve been talking

about in other videos about reducing

glucose but we do need some storage of

glucose in a form called glycogen to

help you click energy between meals and

things like that but you’re not going to

get it from eating sugar you’re going to

get it just from eating any foods your

body will convert enough glycogen to

storage if you need it and a certain

portion of the brain runs on glucose

despite how many ketones you use and but

your body’s making it the liver is

making it but you need potassium to

store this sugar as glycogen glycogen is

stored sugar if you don’t have enough

potassium guess what you’re not going to

store the sugar and guess what you’re

going to store more body fat so

potassium actually helps people lose

weight and it preserves your muscle

alright I just wanted to bring up this

point and the other point is that you

need a lot of potassium you probably

already know this but you need about

4700 and that’s not even the stressed

out body if you have your stress and you

have rheumatoid arthritis you have a lot

of other body problems and you’re

diabetic you probably need 5 to 6,000

milligrams so try to get it from

vegetables you can enhance it from

potassium citrate and other minerals but

you need about 7 to 10 cups of

vegetables to get at least 4,000

milligrams of potassium every single day

alright go ahead and do that and put

your calm

below you I just wanted to take a moment

out to thank you for your amazing

feedback that you guys are giving me

it’s just mind-blowing the successes the

winds I created a link down below so you

can actually type out your full success

story and if you have it before and

after with weight loss that would be

awesome and if you don’t have a success

with weight but other things just put an

image of yourself and your personal

success story and I would love to read

it and also share it with others so I

want to just thank you in advance for

doing that but there’s a link down below

fill it out I can’t wait to read it
