Extended data

Potassium is an indispensable element in human body, and its main function is to maintain the normal functions of nerves and muscles. Therefore, once the human body is short of potassium, not only its energy and physical strength will decrease, but also its heat resistance will decrease. The most prominent manifestation is limb weakness, with different degrees of neuromuscular flaccid paralysis, especially in the lower limbs, which is called potassium deficiency flaccid paralysis.

In severe cases, it will also lead to acid-base imbalance, metabolic disorder and arrhythmia, accompanied by cardiovascular system dysfunction, such as chest tightness, palpitation, and even respiratory muscle paralysis and dyspnea.

After sweating a lot, don't drink too much boiled water or sugar water immediately, but drink some juice or sugar salt water to prevent excessive reduction of blood potassium. Some people drink too much salt and boiled water in order to make themselves sweat less, which is easy to increase the burden on the heart and unbalance the balance of potassium and sodium in the body. Appropriate potassium supplementation is beneficial to improve the balance of potassium and sodium in the body, which can not only prevent the blood pressure from rising but also prevent the blood pressure from being too low.
