Around 97% of people are low in potassium! You need 4700 mg of potassium every single day.
Most people don’t realize that constipation can be a symptom of potassium deficiency. Potassium helps control the smooth muscles in the colon, so when levels are low, constipation is more likely. A potassium deficiency can also contribute to bloating and water retention.
Low potassium may affect your pulse rate and lead to heart palpitations. Potassium and magnesium are both essential for maintaining a healthy heart. Increasing your potassium intake, especially when paired with a low-carb diet, can have significant benefits for your overall health.
