Today we're going to talk about the relationship between potassium and insulin. If you're a diabetic or you have insulin resistance, this video is for you.

Insulin is a hormone that causes you to store fat. In the presence of insulin, it's almost impossible to burn fat and lose weight because insulin prevents fat burning. With insulin, you store sugar as fat, and it prevents the break down of fat. Insulin also stores glucose and turns glucose into glycogen.

Glycogen is a string of glucose molecules held together as stored sugar. Potassium is also involved. Potassium is necessary in the storage of glycogen.

The main purpose of insulin is to lower your blood sugar. It does that by taking the sugar and putting it in storage as glycogen or as fat.

Insulin also helps put potassium in your cells. When you consume a high-carb diet, you deplete potassium from the inside of the cell—you lose potassium.

Taking potassium makes insulin less resistive. Potassium may be very beneficial if you have insulin resistance. If you're a diabetic, you have insulin resistance.

If you're deficient in potassium, that situation will impair glucose and even increase the risk of insulin resistance.

It is very important to get enough potassium—especially if you have a blood sugar issue.
