Potassium is an essential macromineral in human nutrition with a wide range of biochemical and physiological roles. It is important in the transmission of nerve impulses, the contraction of cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle, the production of energy, the synthesis of nucleic acids, the maintenance of intracellular tonicity, and the maintenance of normal blood pressure.Continue reading “Potassium for weight loss”

Metabolic responses to high protein diet in Korean elite bodybuilders with high-intensity resistance exercise coupled with potassium and calcium intake
The study concluded that increased urinary excretion of urea nitrogen and creatinine might be due to the high rates of protein metabolism that follow high protein intake and muscle turnover. The obvious evidence of metabolic acidosis in response to high protein diet in the subjects with high potassium intake and intensive resistance exercise were notContinue reading “Metabolic responses to high protein diet in Korean elite bodybuilders with high-intensity resistance exercise coupled with potassium and calcium intake”
