Generally, the potassium content in the adult body is about 150g, and its function is mainly to maintain the normal functions of nerves and muscles. Therefore, once the human body lacks potassium, normal exercise will be affected.
If there is no potassium, the risk of indigestion is high. Usually low-potassium foods such as vegetables, pumpkins, wax gourd or eating more grapes, apples, pineapples, etc. can also play a role in reducing potassium content. It is recommended to conduct a review in time after a period of time. The demand of some trace elements for human body is more important.

Effects of potassium deficiency on the body;
1, potassium deficiency can cause irregular and accelerated heartbeat, abnormal electrocardiogram, muscle weakness and irritability, and finally lead to cardiac arrest. Generally speaking, healthy people will automatically excrete excess potassium. But patients with kidney disease should pay special attention to avoid taking too much potassium.
2. The neuromuscular system is characterized by decreased nerve and muscle stress. When serum K+< 3.0 mmol/L, muscle weakness of limbs may occur; when serum K+< 2.5mmol/L, muscle paralysis may occur, especially in limbs, and tendon reflex may be dull or disappear. When respiratory muscles are involved, it can cause dyspnea.
3. Potassium deficiency in the digestive system can cause intestinal peristalsis to be weakened, and mild cases may have loss of appetite, nausea and constipation. Severe hypokalemia may cause abdominal distension and paralytic bowel obstruction.
