Type 1 diabetes is usually not preventable. However, you can possibly prevent Type 2 Diabetes, an adult-onset metabolic condition which occurs mostly to those who are 35 years old and above. Recent studies show that there may be a link between Type 2 diabetes and potassium levels.
What is Potassium?
Potassium is a type of mineral and electrolyte that helps to keep the fluid of your body at a proper level. By keeping your body fluids in check, your muscles can contract without pain and your heart will be able to beat properly. It also allows your brain to function at its highest capability. Without the right level of potassium in your body, you can suffer from simple muscle cramps to even more serious conditions, like seizures.
