If You Have Mineral Or Vitamin Deficiencies
There are a variety of consequences of a potassium deficiency including constipation, skin issues, unexplained weakness and degeneration of lean muscle mass, and muscle cramps. When this lack of potassium gets to an extreme, it can actually lead to a variety of different severe health problems. Therefore, it is important when on the Keto diet to monitor your potassium in order to ensure that it is at an adequate level. Some foods that are “Keto friendly” that are high in potassium include spinach, avocado, kale, and mushrooms. Other things to monitor are magnesium and sodium levels as if these levels become too low it can lead to certain health issues like leg cramps. Luckily there are different supplements that can help supplement what the body is not getting from the foods eaten while on the Keto diet. In order to keep up with a healthy sodium level it is suggested to drink pink Himalayan salt tea.
