Episode 3228:


Dr. Neal Malik breaks down why potassium is essential for muscle function, heart health, and electrolyte balance, especially for those who sweat heavily. He explains why potassium supplements are limited, dispels myths about potassium loss through sweat, and offers low-carb food sources to help meet your daily needs without compromising your diet.


Quotes to ponder:


"Potassium is kind of amazing in that it can help offset the damage from consuming too much sodium or salt in your diet."


"Researchers have found that taking supplements with more than 99 milligrams of potassium chloride has been associated with damage to the small intestine."


"The best way to increase your potassium status is to consume potassium-rich foods."
