Symptoms of potassium deficiency in the human body

With the continuous improvement of modernization, people's living standards are also constantly improving, people's quality of life is also constantly improving, and people's living standards are also constantly changing. It is precisely because of this situation that people do more things, but this kind of thing is generally more meaningful to people, and this symptom of potassium deficiency in the human body is one of them.

As for the symptoms of potassium deficiency in the human body, there are actually many different ways to deal with it in society, and people have many choices, which is also better. The following is some information about the symptoms of potassium deficiency in the human body.

When potassium is deficient, the clinical symptoms are often masked by the primary disease. Potassium deficiency reduces neuromuscular excitability, causes general weakness, and reduced reaction ability. In severe cases, it may lead to flaccid paralysis and difficulty breathing. It also causes digestive tract dysfunction, with anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and bloating. In severe cases, there may be intestinal paralysis and intestinal obstruction. Potassium deficiency increases myocardial irritability and causes arrhythmias, atrioventricular conduction block, and even atrial and ventricular fibrillation.

The treatment of potassium deficiency should be based on actively treating the primary disease and eliminating the cause to reduce potassium loss. While doctors are considering potassium supplementation with medication, patients with mild or chronic potassium deficiency who can take food orally should eat more potassium-rich foods.

I have read from many materials that the mineral potassium is effective in treating severe high blood pressure, stroke, muscle atrophy, heart disease, rickets, and even cancer. Since the recommended intake of potassium is between 2000 and 4000 mg, and it is not yet confirmed how much role potassium can play in saving lives, I suggest that you eat as much potassium-containing foods as possible, because the potassium in the human body mainly comes from food. Beans (such as black beans, green beans, fresh peas), lean meat, dairy products, eggs, potatoes, tea, sunflower seeds, grains, raisins, green leafy vegetables (such as spinach, beets, etc.), fruits (such as bananas, oranges, lemons, apricots, plums, nectarines), etc. are rich in potassium. Since potassium is mainly present in cells and is dissolved and precipitated after tissue damage, it is relatively rich in fruit juice, vegetable soup and gravy. People who are potassium-deficient can drink more delicious thick soups made with the above-mentioned potassium-rich foods. However, some patients with high blood potassium due to renal failure need to limit the intake of the above foods.

Through the above understanding and introduction, I believe everyone can have a certain understanding of the symptoms of potassium deficiency in the human body. At the same time, I hope that everyone can get help from the above knowledge. At the same time, I also hope that everyone can do more exercises suitable for themselves in daily life, and develop a habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
