Dr. Berg discusses potassium and the importance of this electrolyte. Your heart, your fluid, your energy, and your nutrients in and out of the cell is dependent on the sodium and potassium pump. However, potassium is the most difficult to get from the diet. High levels of cortisol (stress), insulin, sugar, diuretics, excessive salt, and surgery, all can deplete potassium. However, you need between 7-10 cups of salad or veggies to get your daily requirement of 4700mg.

I have battled Afib for 13 years and not one doctor mentioned checking to see what my potassium level was. I started watching your videos and it made me question why no doctor G.P. or Cardiologist had mentioned this. I also struggled with high blood pressure as well as constipation. I was told that I needed to drink a lot more water so I started drinking close to 100 ounces a day. It didn't help. I found a new doctor when I moved to Texas and I asked for a full blood test. Guess what the blood test revealed? Low potassium. I went on a high dosage potassium prescription and much to my surprise my Afib disappeared along with the high blood pressure and constipation. Turns out all of the water was flushing the potassium out of my system. Had it not been for your videos I would still have the issues that I had. I'm now eating as many high potassium foods as I can find along with taking a potassium supplement. Thank you Dr. Berg for changing my life for the better. Cheers!

After about a year being a fan of this man (the man!), Jason Fung, Malcolm Kenderick, Ken Berry, Mason Paul, and Norman Norawi (Malaysia), and series of nephro appointments, everything changed. The same nephro declared that my dad has no need to comeback to her clinic. His creatinine reading is getting better every time. Someone need to redefine noble prize let this man on the stage for it.

You always help. Thank you Dr Berg, there are so many elderly in nursing homes dying from electrolyte deficiencies. I don’t understand why it’s not mandatory for elderly to get electrolytes. The medications they are on are depleting some minerals, and I see residents cramping up in agony every day , so what does the in home doctor do, he puts them on Endone for pain, and drugs them to the point of not eating and not being able to drink. Hence they are dying at a fast pace. Plus the staff don’t understand how important it is to give fluids throughput the day every couple of hours. I saved my Uncle he is now on electrolytes and supplements but I had to fight for it for months. It’s so frustrating for me to see the system fail these wonderful elderly. And the staff say it is ageing, they really believe its natural ageing, and not neglect.

The people who run nursing homes know that every time someone passes away, it makes way for someone new and with every new person entering a lot of money is made. They are not interested in extending peoples lives as it is not in their financial interests to do so. The doctors would also be in on the idea of speeding up their expiration date as they would be making a bonus. I new a lady who was put in a nursing home and apparently 10 years is the maximum time they give people to pass away. She lived longer and they did terrible things to speed up her death until her family realized and finally got her out of there. Your Uncle is very lucky to have you.

If course I have to follow up with my G.I doc because I also have had digestive issues all my life. They did give me some potassium while I was there which helped a great deal.

Looking back on my younger days when I drank a LOT of beer, I was definitely Potassium, Magnesium and B vit deficient. I had symptoms that I now know were because of this. No Doctor EVER told me about deficiencies, just gave me useless pills, and creams that did very little. I feel fitter now than I did 30 years ago because I supplement and eat healthier. ...................... and watch DR Berg videos.

Good valuable info Sir. We don't need 7-8 salads. Here is the list of other foods, high in potassium. Lima beans (1 cup - 955 mg) Pinto beans (1 cup - 2688 mg) Kidney beans (1 cup - 2587 mg) Soybeans (1 cup - 3342) Lentils (1 cup - 731) Cantaloupe (1 medium - 1474 mg) Two - three of these foods should take care of your Potassium requirements.

I’ve taken a few days off to recover. I hope it never happens again. I felt like a fighter that couldn’t go another round. My 10 hour a week racquetball habit probably didn’t help.

Like I say, if people don't believe him, try it out. Follow it by the book and don't cheat and see what the result is. I stopped drinking cokes and as much bread and sweets (although I've never liked sweets alot)I started keto about two weeks ago to see what it'd do. In the last 6 months I've gone from weighing 328 lbs to 296lbs. I'm going to keep doing keto , although I still have some areas to clean up , and them I'm going to my my vitals tested again. I feel alot better. I have more energy , I don't get hungry as often, I don't have chest pain around the heart area and rarely any numbness. I can tell if I have carbs that are bad, like fried chicken breading , makes me feel like somebody hit me with a bat. I eat my veggies more. I have been eating a few tablespoons of almond butter before meals and it makes me less hungry and I stay satiated and I can go longer without eating , that way my body burns my fat. Try things out for yourself , don't take anyone's word as 100% truth. Always test things and see what works for you and what keeps you healthy

Potassium also works on the lungs if you lack potassium breathing problem can occur because your lung cannot contract and expand.

@abukarabdirahman7846 4 жыл бұрын

Yes. Potasium transports calcium and probably Magnesium to the cell and also help create Acidity of of the stomach as the Dr. Berg said in this video and calcium and Magnesium and due to help control the contract and expand the lungs. If your lack potasium your stomach will not be acidic enough and malabsorption of electrolytes will happen and thus your breathing will be distributed and you might face severe acidosis and hypocalcemia! The key is to get enough vegetables 7 cubs every day!
