Many people think they need carbs for energy, but they don’t.</p> <p><br></p> <p>When you eat carbs, you lose potassium. Low potassium can cause symptoms such as:</p> <p> • Fatigue</p> <p> • Weakness </p> <p> • Paralysis</p> <p> • Leg cramps </p> <p> • Abnormal heart rhythm </p> <p> • High blood pressure </p> <p> • Tremors </p> <p><br></p> <p>There is something called insulin-induced hypokalemia. Hypokalemia is low potassium. When you stimulate insulin because your carbs are high, you block an enzyme, which is a pump. You have millions of these in all of your cells. </p> <p><br></p> <p>This pump basically keeps the potassium inside of the cell and the sodium outside of the cell to form an electrical gradient so it can act as a battery. 30% of all of the energy in the body is allocated to this pump. If you inhibit this pump, more potassium stays outside of the cell, and you start losing potassium.</p> <p><br></p> <p>There are more causes of a potassium deficiency such as:</p> <p> • A spike in insulin</p> <p> • Not consuming enough potassium foods</p> <p> • Loss of fluid </p> <p> • Steroids </p> <p> • Alkalosis </p> <p> • Diuretics </p> <p> • A decrease in magnesium </p> <p><br></p> <p>Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:</p> <p>Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.
