| Title slide

|| Welcome to the '''spoken tutorial''' on the importance of '''potassium'''.
|-
|| Collage: Functions

Collage: Deficiencies of potassium

College: Different age groups

Collage: Food sources

|| In this tutorial we will learn about:
*Benefits of '''potassium'''

*Causes of '''potassium '''deficiency

*Requirements of potassium for different age groups

*Various food sources

|-
|| Image: Potassium symbol

Image: Cells

Image: Electrolyte (Cells with plus and minus)

|| '''Potassium''' is an essential type 2 nutrient.

It is required for normal functioning of cells.

It is also one of the important '''electrolytes.'''

|-
|| Collage: Health benefits

Image: Fluid levels (arrow pointing inside the cell)
Image: Sodium levels (arrow pointing outside the cell)

Image: Heart beat and blood pressure

Image: Muscles and nerves

Image: Protein synthesis and carbohydrate metabolism

|| '''Potassium’s '''main role is to maintain the normal levels of fluid inside the cell.

While '''sodium '''maintains the fluid level outside the cells.

'''Potassium '''regulates heartbeat and supports normal blood pressure.

It ensures proper functioning of muscles and nerves.

It contributes towards '''protein '''synthesis and '''carbohydrate '''metabolism.

|-
|| Collage: Effects of K and NA

|| We will now see the effects of '''potassium '''and''' sodium '''on blood pressure.

|-
|| Image: Blood pressure

Image: Increased salt causes water retention

Image: Increased blood volume and blood pressure.

Image: Heart pumping blood

Image: Blood vessels

Image: Excretion of sodium

Image: Decreased blood pressure

||

Increased sodium intake causes water retention in the body.

This further causes increased blood volume and blood pressure.
In such a condition, the heart must work harder to pump blood.

'''Potassium '''helps to reduce these effects caused by '''sodium'''.

It relaxes the blood vessels and excretes excess '''sodium'''.

Thereby the blood pressure reduces.

|-
|| Collage: Causes and symptoms

Image: Risk factors

|| There are various factors that cause increased deficiency of '''potassium'''.

Diet low in potassium is one of them .

|-
|| Image: Medicines

Image: Vomitings and diarrhea

Image: Sodium and chloride

|| Some medicines lead to excretion of excessive '''potassium''' from the body.

This factor also causes deficiency of '''potassium '''.

Frequent vomiting and diarrhea can also lead to deficiency.

In such cases, along with '''potassium''', the body also loses '''chloride '''and '''sodium'''.

|-
|| Image: Pica

Image: Soil or clay

Image: Clay binds

Image: Deficiency

|| People with '''pica '''are also at the risk of '''potassium '''deficiency.

'''Pica '''is intake of inedible substances like clay or soil.

Clay binds with '''potassium '''and increases '''potassium '''excretion from the body.

This can lead to the deficiency of the mineral in the body.

|-
|| Image: Inflammatory bowel disease

Image: Digestive system

Image: Digestive system parts

|| '''Inflammatory bowel''' disease also causes inadequate absorption of '''potassium'''.

This factor also causes deficiency of '''potassium'''.

'''Inflammatory bowel '''disease is inflammation of the digestive system.

The inflammation can be of the entire or one part of the digestive system.

|-
|| Gif : reabsorption of kidney

Image: Calcium excretion

Image: Kidney stones

|| Low '''potassium '''intake impairs '''calcium '''reabsorption in the kidney.

This leads to increased '''calcium '''excretion in the urine and causes kidney stones.

|-
|| Image: Fatigue

Image: Irregular heart beat

Image: Blood sugar levels

Image: Metabolism

|| Early symptoms of deficiency include fatigue, muscle weakness and cramps.

Irregular heart beat is another example.

|-
|| Image: Imaired glucose metabolism

Image: Blood sugar levels

|| Loss of '''potassium''' happens due to impaired glucose metabolism.

Sudden loss of potassium can increase blood sugar levels.

|-
|| Image: Growth retardation

Image: Blood pressure

Image: Mental confusion

Image: Heart diseases

Image: Stroke

|| The deficiency causes growth retardation and decreased levels of '''growth hormone. '''

'''Growth hormone''' helps in formation of new cells and stimulates growth.

Severe deficiency can cause high blood pressure and mental confusion.

High blood pressure is one of the major causes for heart diseases and stroke.

|-
|| Collage: Excess potassium

|| Like deficiency, increase in the level of '''potassium '''also causes health issues.

|-
|| Collage: Factors

Image: Certain kidney disease

Image: Kidney diseases and high potassium diet

Image: Salt substitutes:

|| Increase in the level of '''potassium '''in the blood can be fatal.

There are various factors that cause increased '''potassium '''levels''' '''in blood.

Certain medication for kidney ailments is one of the reasons.

Using '''potassium '''based salt substitutes also increases potassium in blood.

Eating a high '''potassium '''diet with existing kidney issues is also another risk factor.

I will discuss the food sources of '''potassium '''in the later part of this tutorial.

|-
|| Image: Weakness and fatigue

Image: Nausea

Image: Vomiting

Image: Shortness of breath

Image: Chest pain

|| The symptoms of increased '''potassium '''in the body are weakness and fatigue.

Nausea, vomiting, difficulty in breathing and chest pain are other symptoms.

|-
|| Image: Different age groups

Image: 1 to 3 year old

Image: 4 to 6 year old

Image: Adult men

Image: Adult women

|| Recommended intake of '''potassium '''differs for different age groups.

1 to 3 years olds require around 1,100 milligrams per day.
4 to 6 year olds require about 1,550 milligrams per day.

For men, it is 3,750 milligrams per day.

For women, it is around 3,225 milligrams per day.

|-
|| Image: Food sources

Collage: All foods

Image: Pulses

Image: Legumes

Image: Nuts

Image: Seeds

Image: Spices

Collage: Vegetable, fruits and grains

|| I will now tell you about the vast food sources of '''potassium'''.

It is naturally present in all plant based foods.

Pulses, legumes, nuts, seeds and spices are the richest sources.

Vegetables, fruits and grains also have '''potassium'''.
|-
|| '''Image: K symbol'''

Image: Green gram

Image: soyabean

Image: red gram

Image: Split black gram

|| 30 grams of raw green gram has approximately 353 milligrams '''potassium'''.

30 grams of raw soybean has around 490 milligrams.

30 grams of raw split red gram has approximately 419 milligrams.

30 grams split black gram has around 347 milligrams.

|-
|| Image: Almonds

Image: Cashew

Image: Sesame seeds

Image: Sunflower seeds

|| 20 grams of almonds have approximately 140 milligrams.

20 grams of cashew nuts have approximately 127 milligrams.

10 grams of sesame seeds have around 46 milligrams.

10 grams of sunflower seeds have approximately 56 milligrams.
|-
|| Image: Spices

|| Likewise some spices and condiments have high amounts of '''potassium'''.

|-
||
Image: Turmeric

Image: Fenugreek

Image: Red chilli

Image: Black pepper

Image: Coriander seeds

|| 5 grams of turmeric has around 118 milligrams.

5 grams of fenugreek seeds have around 46 milligrams.

5 grams of red chilli has around 112 milligrams.

5 grams of black pepper seeds have approximately 74 milligrams.

5 grams of coriander seeds has around 74 milligrams.

|-
|| Collage: Food sources

|| Include these '''potassium '''rich foods regularly for good health and wellbeing.
