so I had another question that came up

regarding potassium someone said I’m

concerned about taking potassium because

I heard it’s dangerous for my kidney so

is it okay to take potassium okay well

it really depends if you have stage 5

kidney failure end-stage renal failure

okay we’re you have 10% of the kidney

working you want to avoid potassium why

because you’ve already lost your ability

to rid potassium and other nutrients as

well so it’s gonna build up and that

could be dangerous to the heart because

your pulse rate goes down you might have

neurological problems like a tingling

sensation or even numbness you feel weak

nauseated but if you’re healthy like the

great majority of the population

potassium is protective to the kidney it

actually can prevent a bad kidney

especially if you’re diabetic one of the

complications of being a diabetic is you

lose the kidney function if you have

enough potassium you can hopefully

prevent that effect so potassium is very

very healthy especially for the kidney

okay and the reason why you would have a

kidney problem the first place it

usually comes from high levels of sugar

and insulin which destroys the kidney

the eye the heart and the brain but the

kidney especially so a lot of diabetics

died of renal failure they end up on

kiddie Dallas’s so not only can

potassium protect the kidney but it can

help reestablish normal blood sugars as

well so as you increase more potassium

you can just make insulin work better in

the body and you can bring it down so

that can help a diabetic greatly not to

mention it can lower blood pressure too

so a lot of blood pressure problems

actually come from a potassium

deficiency but what people are doing is

they’re lowering their salt but they’re

ignoring this potassium what they don’t

know is they need a lot they need like

four point seven grams of potassium

every single day

it’s a lot of vegetables but potassium

can help you potassium functions on the

nerves the muscle the rhythm of the

heart it’s a major electrolyte most

cells in your body have potassium pumps

because it’s intimately involved in

creating energy and fluid balance
