In this podcast, Dr. Berg talks about why blacks have a higher risk of diabetes and high blood pressure. Our bodies require 1000mg of sodium and 4,700mg of potassium every day. Taking diuretic for high blood pressure could deplete potassium. Serum potassium is an independent risk factor for diabetes. 

Functions of Potassium

• Helps store glycogen 

• Lowers cravings/sugar 

• Potassium Deficiency Worsens Insulin Resistance  – increases insulin

• Low Potassium causes stiff arteries – increases high blood pressure 

• Potassium protects kidney 

• Potassium decreases the risk of gout
