Potassium is an essential nutrient. Its primary role is to help maintain normal levels of fluid inside our cells; and also plays a big part in muscle contraction, regulating blood pressure, synthesizing proteins, and metabolizing carbohydrates. Potassium levels may decline due to many reasons, but if the levels drop too low, it can cause serious health issues.

✅ Muscle weakness
Potassium deficiency affects skeletal muscles most commonly, particularly those in the arms and legs, leading to general muscle weakness and cramping.

✅ Constipation
Potassium has an essential role in transmitting messages from the brain to the muscles, which causes muscle contractions. The low levels of potassium; in your body can affect the intestinal muscles, food passes through your gut very slowly, and as a result, you may develop constipation, bloating, and nausea.

Are you feeling depressed lately; it could be due to low potassium levels. A study published in the journal Physiological Reports shows that eating sodiumrich and low potassium foods results in depression, anxiety, and mood swings.

✅ High Blood Pressure
It is crucial to have a perfect balance of electrolytes to maintain normal blood pressure. It is common knowledge that too much sodium in the body can increase blood pressure, yet few know that too little potassium intake can have the same effect.

✅ Polyuria

✅ Muscle Paralysis
Severe hypokalemia is usually associated with acute flaccid paralysis, ranging from mild muscle weakness to severe paralysis due to weak to no muscle contractions.

✅ Breathing Problems

Arrhythmia is a common complication of low potassium levels and can cause a cardiac emergency, especially in individuals, with underlying heart issues.
