Potassium Deficiency Symptoms and the Best Natural Solutions

Are you feeling unusually tired after exercise, having muscle spasms or heart problems? Then you may need more potassium in your diet. Potassium deficiency symptoms can range from fatigue and irritability to heart disturbances and chronic diarrhea, but you don’t have to suffer!

Do you suffer from muscle weakness, confusion, chronic diarrhea, irritability or fatigue?

Do you have heart disturbances or tire more frequently when you exercise?

All of these conditions are potassium deficiency symptoms and you might need more potassium in your diet!

Electrolytes for Energy

Potassium is a mineral, also referred to as an electrolyte, meaning it conducts electricity when dissolved in water. It is vital in the function of your muscles and nerves and regulates the fluid in your body at a cellular level.

Potassium is a crucial macronutrient, essential for:

  • Maintaining the acid-alkaline balance in your blood
  • Storing carbohydrates that your muscles use for fuel
  • Affecting muscle contraction
  • Sending nerve impulses throughout your body
  • Helping to lower your risk for high blood pressure

Low potassium symptoms can occur when you do not take in enough potassium in your diet, when you engage in strenuous exercise on a regular basis, when you lose a lot of fluid due to vomiting or diarrhea, or if you have a diet high in sodium.

Because it is such an important nutrient, you must make sure that you are getting adequate amounts of potassium to stay healthy.

With proper amounts of potassium, you can be free of potassium deficiency symptoms and also help protect yourself from these conditions:

  • Atherosclerosis
  • Cataracts
  • Diabetes
  • Hepatitis
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Osteoporosis

Coconut Kefir is a Great Source of Potassium

If you drink Young Coconut Kefir, you will be thrilled to know that it is an excellent source of potassium. Fresh coconut water enjoys a wonderful reputation among people who live on islands and in countries where coconuts are grown. Coconut water is said to be good for the heart, kidneys and liver. The fact that it is rich in potassium has to be one of the main reasons it enjoys such popularity as a healthy drink. At Body Ecology we do not drink the coconut water without fermenting it first. It contains too much sugar. So we put beneficial microflora into the coconut water and they consume it during the fermentation process.
