Dr. Eric Berg explains that many people believe that eating carbohydrates can boost energy, but in fact, excessive carbohydrate intake can lead to potassium loss , making you more tired, weaker, and even causing arrhythmia or cramps.
⚡ Simplified version: Carbohydrates → Increased insulin → Potassium loss → Strain + Cramps + Unstable heartbeat
- Consuming carbohydrates → insulin levels rise → inhibits the intracellular sodium-potassium pump
- Potassium leaves cells → blood potassium levels drop (hypokalemia)
- Results: fatigue, leg cramps, palpitations, high blood pressure, tremors, and even paralysis.
🧬 Technical version: Insulin-induced hypokalemia
- The sodium-potassium pump is an important intracellular enzyme that maintains electrolyte balance .
- 30% of the body's energy is used to maintain the operation of this pump.
- High insulin levels → inhibit pump function → potassium retention outside cells → excretion from the body
- Result: Energy system imbalance → muscle weakness, impaired nerve signals
🧂 Other causes of potassium loss
- Gastrointestinal disorders: diarrhea, vomiting
- Diabetes: Frequent urination leads to electrolyte loss
- Stress, surgery, and steroids can cause alkalosis .
- A high-sugar diet can also cause alkalosis , indirectly leading to potassium loss.
- Diuretics and magnesium deficiency → affect potassium absorption and retention
🥑 How to supplement potassium and boost energy?
- Food sources: avocado, spinach, salmon, mushrooms, pumpkin seeds
- Recommended daily potassium intake: at least 2,000 mg , ideally 4,700 mg
- Supplementing with magnesium helps potassium absorption.
- Reducing high-sugar and high-carbohydrate foods → Stabilizing insulin levels
🧾 In conclusion: Don't assume that "carbs = energy" anymore; knowing how to supplement potassium is key to truly having energy.
Starting today, a cup of avocado salad, a serving of dark green vegetables, and a diet that stabilizes insulin levels will lay the foundation for your energy system!
Don't be misled by the "sugar = alertness" myth anymore. Knowing how to control your sugar intake, supplement your potassium intake, and regulate your lifestyle are the keys to true health! 💪⚡🥑
