1. This is general information
This compound is found in most foods (mostly avocados, bananas, figs, apples, dried carrots, tomatoes, raisins, and potatoes). Potassium is one of the micronutrients that make up the body's electrolyte economy. The correct concentration of potassium in the blood is 3.55 mmol/l. This means that it is actually found throughout our body.2. Is that what potassium in the body is for?
Potassium is essential for the proper functioning of many important processes in the body. Maintaining proper levels of potassium in the blood significantly contributes to the oxygenation of the brain, the intensification of logical thinking processes, the improvement of concentration, the effective regulation of kidney function and blood pressure.3. Potassium and its deficiency are hypocalemia
Potassium deficiency often results in excessive blood pressure, accelerated heart work, and impaired nervous system function, leading to problems with concentration and memory, as well as irritability and nervousness. Also, the transmineralisation process of transferring potassium into cells through intensive insulin or medication can lead to hypocalcemia. Sometimes, hypocalcaemia may lead to the onset of muscle structures.
