Spot on--& thank you. I asked doctors *decades* ago why I was getting NIGHTLY leg cramps in hot weather. None of them knew what to advise. The leg cramps (then, years later, HAND cramps, & most of the symptoms that your video mentions) FINALLY woke me up to Potassium deficiency. Thanks for sharing this with the 98% of us who have Potassium deficiency.
if and when I miss eating at least one banana 2 days in a row I do get leg cramps. I make sure that I eat 2 banana a day . one in the middle of the day and one after I take all my vitamins at night. Yes, I find that taking all my vitamins at night I have energy all day.
Good question. Just last night temps exceeded 30 degrees Celsius for the first time in a week or so. Time for Yours Truly to increase intake of Sports Drinks, Potassium, Magnesium.
having exactly the same problem: cramps, cramps day and night, hands legs and feet. Whenever I mentioned this to the family doctor, he only replied one word: magnesium. I have been taking this for years and it doesn't work. I spent a fortune on magnesium supplements and still have cramps. I don't even mention it to him anymore. I have to admit though that I don't eat a lot of meat or fresh fish - too expensive - so I'll stick to sardines and chicken now and then. And I'll be looking for potassium suplements that are affordable.
Hi everyone, I just wanted to note. Bananas are POOR source of potassium. They have high levels of starches that deplete the potassium that they have, rendering them quite useless. Get your potassium from salad, meat and fish. I hope you found this video informative, all the best to you and your health journey. 💚
I appreciate that you included recommendation to consult your physician. I feel it's a bit irresponsible for these health channels to encourage people to go rogue on their health care. Especially if a person literally has an active health issue or take meds. They certainly should be apprised by their medical doctor of any changes in diet & nutrition. Getting potassium from real food sources is best of course. I also appreciate you recommendation whole foods as the nutritional source. Thank you for being responsible with nutritional information.
So the high level of potassium in white beans, is next to useless, because the white beans have high level of starches ? 🤷♂️ WHY/HOW does starches depletes potassium ???
I got potassium deficient after a week of water fasting that then set of irregular heart beats, my BP got erratic, and the combo set off an anxiety attack. The doctor’s response was to want to put me on BP and beta blocker meds for life. I fixed my electrolytes, and no more problems.
This is what is happing to me right now. They tested my blood and said everything was perfect and that I just have high blood pressure. They put me on meds but I don’t want to be on meds. So here I am, being my own dr and trying to figure out how to heal, not treat, my body.
@@tanyabailey7791 eliminate sugar, carbs, processed foods, alcohol, fructose, vegetables oils and seeds oils .. and eating healthy fats, animal proteins and vegetables! Take magnesium citrate or magnesium glycinate every night 400 mg .. keep your body hydrated with mineral water and you will reverse HBP in 3 months
Coconut water, tomato, tomato paste, tomato sauce, potato, cherries, cherry juice, banana, lemon, lime, orange, orange juice are all high in potassium.
Doctors, most are ignorant. They have no clue what the pills they prescribe are and this is their biggest job hee hee pushing pills they walk hand in hand with big pharma, monsanto....no clue that these pills are killing people because one pill gives side effects and so the doctors hand out yet another pill for the side effect and it just continues until a person is on a dozen pills with none doing any good....corruption and totally criminal agendas

I take that as well. In 32 Oz of water I add 3/4 tsp sea salt, 3/4 tsp cream of tarter and juice of half a lemon. I just drink enough till I feel better and put the rest in the fridge. Can also add 1 TBS apple cider vinegar.
@@shellymason9458 this will depend on how well you keep your electrolytes at bay. If you are a big soda or alcohol drinker you would need more than a person who drinks filtered water.
I also get awful headaches, heart rhythm problems, breakouts, and feel very stressed when my potassium is low. I also get insomnia, feel thirsty and am up all night peeing.
Potatos, tomatoes sweet potatoes beans avocado have high potassium put in a soup with little sea salt and afd magnesium and some more vitamins add to it

Omg! I hear my heartbeat squishing in my ears & i have erratic blood pressure, nighttime potty trips and many other symptom on this list! Magnesium and potassium appear to be my issue. Very helpful
The acid in apple cider vinegar helps people absorb potassium and magnesium better, by strengthening stomach acid. It also helps activate minerals better in the body. 💚
This is a very informative video Ryan. Thank you for being so thorough in your presentation. I always learn something new when I watch your videos.😊 I thought I knew about potassium but had no idea how MUCH we actually need. 🎃🍁🍄🍂
I have edema in one leg. Then my doctor put me on 2 asthma inhalers and I started having cramps, palpitations and terrible acid reflux at night. Turned out the combination made me need more magnesium and potassium than most people. Years later the manufacturers of the inhalers added these side effects to their drug info. I usually get my extra potassium from a potassium based salt substitute.
So Lisinopril is given as a treatment for high blood pressure, which depletes potassium and magnesium, and in turn causes high blood pressure. Nice. I read somewhere that the education for a doctor includes a brief overview of medications. Doctors rely on pharmaceutical sales representatives to educate them on medication uses and side effects. The pharmaceutical companies rely on the doctors to prescribe their products and keep the source of revenue flowing. It’s a vicious cycle and the patient is paying the price.
why do you recommend Potassium citrate (is used to treat or prevent certain types of kidney stones.) instead of Potassium chloride (is used to treat or prevent hypokalemia (low potassium levels)
I had all of the listed symptoms for a couple of weeks. I went to ER on Friday, given 1L NS for dehydration, sent home. Went back on Sunday, feeling worse, tested, sent home just after midnight. Monday afternoon, went to bank, where i passed out and was taken to hospital by ambulance and admitted for 3 days. Determined my metoprolol was too high, dose cut in half, sent home. Slooowly feeling better. K+ level never mentioned. 😢
In the UK we get unwaxed lemons from most supermarkets. Not sure about where you live, but you could always use a potato peeler to remove a thin layer off the top. 💚
Most of the food he suggests is full of oxalates, lectins, phytic acid & other anti-nutrients, plus pesticides and other chemicals. Most of these RUclips content makers give pedestrian advice... even doctors. I personally get most of my potassium from A2 milk, plus calcium, magnesium, fortified D & A, protein, fat, sodium, etc. I drink like a quart of milk a day at least, which won't give me 4700mg of potassium, but at least I am getting 1000+mg minimum a day
Most of the "light salts" have added bulking agents (silicone dioxide and dextrose which is a starch that raises blood sugar and inflammation). Be careful with these products, they are cheap for a reason. 💚
I get lots leg cramp the blood test shows my electric what ever is normal , I take magnesium and 1500 mg potassium but when I don’t drink enough water I still get the cramps ( I forget to drink water , just coffee all day ) 🤷🏼♀️thank you this video is great 👍
Well some of those symptoms are alike if you have deficiency of magnesium. I used to have alot of muscle cramps and after supplementing magnesium i´ve got rid off those issues.
potassium citrate contains only 38% of elemental potassium, the rest is citrate. So you would require more like 5-12g of that substance depending on your diet.
How about eating a banana each day? A medium banana has 425mg of potassium. Potatoes, a medium baked potato with skin has 925mg, but make sure the potatoes are organic.
Bananas are not a good source of potassium unfortunately. Because they contain a lot of natural sugar, this uses up the potassium when you eat it. So you don't really get the benefits. Potatoes are better, but again, very starchy and use up the potassium when metabolising it. The best way to get potassium & magnesium is by eating none-starchy leafy green vegetables (cruciferous mostly) and there is a good amount in salmon. 💚
Good question, you should aim to get as much as you can towards your daily requirement, 4700mg from FOOD. And supplement with potassium citrate to boost it.💚
Why is it always to get you potassium from foods..you can get it in the groceries store very easy..here in the Netherlands you get jozo low sodium salt..its 70 percent potassium and 30 percent sodium..real Cheap 450 grams for 2 euro.. always put a little bit in my sweet drinks.. you wont taste potassium in sweet drinks.. nowadays there's very little potassium in food .. because the soil is depleted....

Hi Ryan, i m not sure if i m deficient in potassium. Cause the symptom just comes n go.. at first i thought it is certain Bs and magnesium deficiency..after i took those supplements, it is getting much better, the symptoms that bothering me are, the area at the left side of my face, jaw, neck area is often stiff after slight workout, sometimes i can even hear some 'drum" beats from my left ear, spasm, too. The next day, i often felt my entire body is fallen apart the next day. I would nly felt that s way after slight heavy work out. I ve tried to stop work out for a few months and the symptoms were not present..lately i also feel that my right hand always hold in fist even when i sleep. Haiz.. does this mean i shd give up work out, or indeed i m deficient in potassium? My emotions is very stable, only stiffness, soreness ans spasm...😢😢😢
It does sound like you are lacking electrolytes, and quite possibly dehydrated. Avoid sugar/high carbs and caffeine. Drink at least 2 litres of water, get your potassium, magnesium and salt. You need more minerals when sweating and exercising. 💚
@@RyanTaylorNaturalRemedies i ve never thought that i m actually dehydrated! 😱 but when i think of it , yes, maybe i m ! really appreciate your feedback! ❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much! 🙏🙏🙏
Morton's light salt , which is fifty fifty sodium potassiumour new salt , which is a hundred percent potassium chloride , are excellent ways to increase your potassium intake.
They add bulking agents (silicone dioxide and dextrose a hidden starch that raises blood sugars and inflammation. I wouldn't advise it if you want to take care of your arteries and heart. 💚
The problem with most multivitamins and those drinks, is that they contain synthetic vitamins. Lab made vitamins simply don't have the same effect in the body as food based nutrients, and some can actually cause damage. The multivitamin I personally use contains naturally occurring vitamins that are produced through fermentation. But you still need to be focusing on food, because real food contains all the cofactors needed which work with the vitamins. It doesn't have potassium however, it's really important to get this from leafy greens. This is the one I use: www.performancelab.com/products/nutrigenesis-multi-men?a_aid=667bf5a54b917&a_cid=f4c3e754
That’s horrible for you, full of toxic ingredients. If you want a meal replacement drink try Orgain, it’s plant based and natural but tastes delicious. Got me through cancer treatments more than once. If you are in the US Costco and Amazon sell it
I'm confused !😭 My resting blood pressure is 176/108 & I feel great , how it's possible ? But upon meditating & concentration on body's signals I noticed high frequency hissing in my ears. Like your advice leafy greens & L- Arginine with meals 1×d Salt ONLY Redmond deep mined , Windsor salt got screwed up by mixing additives. NO Celtic , NO Sea salt - I have my scientific reasons for that salt sources ..... & defamation of any business is not my intention.
Look into adding more magnesium in your diet and supplements. Also, as we age, we don't absorb nutrients as well as when we were younger. If a certain dosage of supplementation was adequate when you were younger, you may need to up the dosage as you get older. Listen to your body, because a doctor won't. They'll just prescribe you something for the symptoms and fine with not figuring out why.
What's ridiculous is that I purchased a Potassium supplement at Walgreens, and it's on 99 mg. I know we need 4700 mg a day, but I bought it anyways, I'm taking a few at a time, but still. And then the magnesium was 500 mg, which might be too much. I will now look for the Potassium drink, Thanks for the good information!!! I wish you weren't a computer talking though. 😒
I have moderate Aortic stenosis and have three stents in my heart. How much potassium should I take? I heard that too much can be bad for your heart, is this true? I have many of these symptoms and I'm 68 years old.
@@rebekahpodyma3532 I would probably have to go to a Functional Medicine Dr. for that I suppose. Regular Drs. probably don't know anything about that test. I will ask though. Thank you for sharing that with me. 👍
@1235 The numbers dont make sense. One scoop(serving) of potassium citrate powder has 99mg of potassium. You say half a teaspoon has 1000mg. Please explain. Ref: micro ingredients is the brand, found on Amazon.
I believe that brand provides a very tiny scoop device in the package. Since the package contains 3875 servings. I use the NOW brand for clarity. Half a teaspoon is roughly 950-1000mg. 💚
Nurse here, the only information I would add to this would be that if you are on ANY CARDIAC MEDICATIONS AVOID POTASSIUM RICH foods at ALL COSTS as well as CALCIUM rich foods as well. Other than that, great video. 😊
Hi thank you for your comment, but avoiding potassium rich foods entirely would be a mistake. Since lack of potassium often causes cardiac problems in the first place, you leave yourself on and endless loop of medication. We want to try and taper down medications and rely on nutrition to repair our bodies, in natural medicine. 💚
I wanted to.comment something along these lines. So you're a medical professional saying that peoplesjould not address underlying deficiency that contribute to heart problems, but rather stay on medication endlessly, not supplementing in any way? My lord, medicine must be greater than god🫠
At the heart of it all we are suffering from malnutrition.
Over feeding and malnutrition…. What a combination!

Parsley, oregano, cilantro, dill and oregano are potassium rich herbs to add to your salad or daily meals

89 mg is enough to stop your cramps?
I have leg cramp at ankle occasionally during sleep for a few years, couldn’t figure out how to fix it. Thanks for the sharing and tips.
The body requires about 4000mg every day. 89mg is a good start, but look further into the foods that will get you closer to the requirement.

Why is it always to get you potassium from foods..you can get it in the groceries store very easy..here in the Netherlands you get jozo low sodium salt..its 70 percent potassium and 30 percent sodium..real Cheap 450 grams for 2 euro.. always put a little bit in my sweet drinks.. you wont taste potassium in sweet drinks.. nowadays there's very little potassium in food .. because the soil is depleted....
because no cattle manure is recycled Plus let the field rest for a year
because they want u to get sick..the doc never looks deeply into ur diet
Most of the "light salts" have added bulking agents (silicone dioxide and dextrose which is a starch that raises blood sugar and inflammation). Be careful with these products, they are cheap for a reason. 💚
@@RyanTaylorNaturalRemedies when products are expensive has also a reason.. people think they are good and the people who sell them know that...since im using it i have no Muscle cramps at al..... running,boxing,bicycling..
@@RyanTaylorNaturalRemedies ordinary table salt has bulking agents too
Hi Ryan, i m not sure if i m deficient in potassium. Cause the symptom just comes n go.. at first i thought it is certain Bs and magnesium deficiency..after i took those supplements, it is getting much better, the symptoms that bothering me are, the area at the left side of my face, jaw, neck area is often stiff after slight workout, sometimes i can even hear some 'drum" beats from my left ear, spasm, too. The next day, i often felt my entire body is fallen apart the next day. I would nly felt that s way after slight heavy work out. I ve tried to stop work out for a few months and the symptoms were not present..lately i also feel that my right hand always hold in fist even when i sleep. Haiz.. does this mean i shd give up work out, or indeed i m deficient in potassium? My emotions is very stable, only stiffness, soreness ans spasm...😢😢😢
It does sound like you are lacking electrolytes, and quite possibly dehydrated. Avoid sugar/high carbs and caffeine. Drink at least 2 litres of water, get your potassium, magnesium and salt. You need more minerals when sweating and exercising. 💚
@@RyanTaylorNaturalRemedies i ve never thought that i m actually dehydrated! 😱 but when i think of it , yes, maybe i m ! really appreciate your feedback! ❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much! 🙏🙏🙏
Morton's light salt , which is fifty fifty sodium potassiumour new salt , which is a hundred percent potassium chloride , are excellent ways to increase your potassium intake.
They add bulking agents (silicone dioxide and dextrose a hidden starch that raises blood sugars and inflammation. I wouldn't advise it if you want to take care of your arteries and heart. 💚
Sea salt ONLY.
Chloride???? He’ll no!
Aside from a decent diet, what is your opinion of multivitamin supplements or drinks like Ensure? (75 yr old asking)
The problem with most multivitamins and those drinks, is that they contain synthetic vitamins. Lab made vitamins simply don't have the same effect in the body as food based nutrients, and some can actually cause damage. The multivitamin I personally use contains naturally occurring vitamins that are produced through fermentation. But you still need to be focusing on food, because real food contains all the cofactors needed which work with the vitamins. It doesn't have potassium however, it's really important to get this from leafy greens. This is the one I use: www.performancelab.com/products/nutrigenesis-multi-men?a_aid=667bf5a54b917&a_cid=f4c3e754
That’s horrible for you, full of toxic ingredients. If you want a meal replacement drink try Orgain, it’s plant based and natural but tastes delicious. Got me through cancer treatments more than once. If you are in the US Costco and Amazon sell it
Going to the loo half the night is cos i drink 2 flaming litres of water a day!! You cant win lol
If you stop drinking a couple hours before bed, you should have time to empty your bladder. 💚
I'm confused !😭 My resting blood pressure is 176/108 & I feel great , how it's possible ?
But upon meditating & concentration on body's signals I noticed high frequency hissing in my ears. Like your advice leafy greens & L- Arginine with meals 1×d
Salt ONLY Redmond deep mined , Windsor salt got screwed up by mixing additives.
NO Celtic , NO Sea salt - I have my scientific reasons for that salt sources ..... & defamation of any business is not my intention.
Your blood pressure is too high which eventually enlarge the heart and damage the organs. Remember, it is called silent killer.
You can have a stroke with those numbers. I know someone who had numbers like that and had a stroke. She's paralyzed on her right side.
yes! Too high! Alternatives work for many things, but you are in critical zone. A close friend now has heart damage from ignoring numbers like yours.
Look into adding more magnesium in your diet and supplements. Also, as we age, we don't absorb nutrients as well as when we were younger. If a certain dosage of supplementation was adequate when you were younger, you may need to up the dosage as you get older. Listen to your body, because a doctor won't. They'll just prescribe you something for the symptoms and fine with not figuring out why.
I've had high blood pressure I didn't listen to the doctor cause me to have two strokes get that blood pressure down
What can we take with a lot of the right thinks in proper amount that’s not in a pill
What's ridiculous is that I purchased a Potassium supplement at Walgreens, and it's on 99 mg. I know we need 4700 mg a day, but I bought it anyways, I'm taking a few at a time, but still. And then the magnesium was 500 mg, which might be too much. I will now look for the Potassium drink, Thanks for the good information!!! I wish you weren't a computer talking though. 😒
Hi, thanks for your comment. But I'm not a talking computer. It's my narrated voice FYI. 💚
Very useful info,.What about bananas as they are rich in potassium too.
No, bananas have high sugar content which depletes the potassium that they have. 💚
I have moderate Aortic stenosis and have three stents in my heart. How much potassium should I take? I heard that too much can be bad for your heart, is this true? I have many of these symptoms and I'm 68 years old.
Yes, too much can give you palpitations, i don't know how much you should take, so be careful..
Safest source leafy greens & electrolytes not supplement pills.
Potassium chloride can be dangerous even in small amounts...
Get a "Hair Analysis" test. It will give you more accurate information as to how much potassium to take.
@@rebekahpodyma3532 I would probably have to go to a Functional Medicine Dr. for that I suppose. Regular Drs. probably don't know anything about that test. I will ask though. Thank you for sharing that with me. 👍
@@Lilygirl283 I will, thank you!
@1235 The numbers dont make sense. One scoop(serving) of potassium citrate powder has 99mg of potassium. You say half a teaspoon has 1000mg. Please explain. Ref: micro ingredients is the brand, found on Amazon.
I believe that brand provides a very tiny scoop device in the package. Since the package contains 3875 servings. I use the NOW brand for clarity. Half a teaspoon is roughly 950-1000mg. 💚
I use
Redmond Real Salt contains over 60 naturally-occurring trace minerals: Calcium, Copper, Magnesium, Potassium, and Zinc.
Me too 💚
Nurse here, the only information I would add to this would be that if you are on ANY CARDIAC MEDICATIONS AVOID POTASSIUM RICH foods at ALL COSTS as well as CALCIUM rich foods as well. Other than that, great video. 😊
Hi thank you for your comment, but avoiding potassium rich foods entirely would be a mistake. Since lack of potassium often causes cardiac problems in the first place, you leave yourself on and endless loop of medication. We want to try and taper down medications and rely on nutrition to repair our bodies, in natural medicine. 💚
I wanted to.comment something along these lines. So you're a medical professional saying that peoplesjould not address underlying deficiency that contribute to heart problems, but rather stay on medication endlessly, not supplementing in any way? My lord, medicine must be greater than god🫠
If a person avoids potassium and magnesium food/suplements then that person will need more medications for HBP, beta blockers, etc... for life.
