- FUCK-IT -

Fuckit, often the subject of heated debate on the internet, is a salt containing #iron and #uranium, #carbon and #potassium.

➞ Uranium, which provides energy and makes objects explode, and carbon, which forms compounds.

➞ Potassium plays a role in nerve impulses, muscle contractions and blood pressure regulation.

➞ Fuckit is able to simply spoil any topic, raise blood pressure and cause explosive reactions.

But what's worrying me is #Potassium. In 2019, I was hospitalized because I lacked K. The doctor also said my heart would've stopped anytime if we delayed rushing to the ER further.

It was that bad and I don't want a repeat of it. So far my K is on a good level, but I have to check regardless.

#Potassium and #magnesium are #essential #minerals that play important roles in many bodily processes. The #electrolytes have been known to work synergistically together performing many functions including regulating #musclemovement and the #nervoussystem. Magnesium may maintain and #repairDNA and potassium might help regulate #fluidbalance. #angstromminerals #traceminerals #elementalhealing #onsale

For us older folks, eating is really a challenge. Our systems just seem to always be out of whack. I have annual dr visit, cuz need HBP med renewed. So... I try to be healthy a month or so before. Eat low fat, lots of good stuff, all fresh : lentils, brussels sprouts, broccoli, plain yogurt, avocado, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, you know... and I love all that stuff. Well... Guess what. My blood #potassium was over the limit. Not good. Dr said come back! So, I read up on it, then went on LOW potassium foods, and voila! Next blood test, dropped TWO FULL points. Lawdy, I will actually live. Now I am decimals above LOW potassium. Geeze Louise. None of it is good. I just wish I could eat whatever I want, like I used to. MFG, this whole eating thing has become VERY DIFFICULT. 🤬😡🤬

“The groundbreaking #technology they deployed was developed in the 1970s at the Department for Glass Structure Research at the Central Institute for #Inorganic #Chemistry near Dresden. The material scientists there knew that when #glass breaks, it is typically due to microscopic cracks in the material’s surface which form during the production process. Dramatically increasing the toughness of the glass surface was possible, they found, by replacing the smaller #sodium ions in the glass with electronically charged potassium ions. #Potassium ions need more space, pressing harder against neighbouring atoms and building up more tension that needs to be overcome for the microscopic cracks to get bigger.”

I have cut back my purchase of bananas because they are not local and most brands are from questionable companies.


Went to our local shop and found a huge pack of "old bananas" at discount price. So I purchased them.

This gave me the opportunity to create banana juice for my plants. Cut the peels into small pieces, added water and let it sit for w days.

Going to use the water as #potassium boost for my plants and crush the peels in a high speed mixer with coffee grounds, egg shells and a small amount of baking soda to adjust the pH level to create my speed #compost mix.

It will go into the bottom of the container I'm preparing for a friend with cherry tomatoes. Hopefully she will be able to grow them as tall as I managed (3M+) and get a lot of #tomatoes from it.

#Cloves are packed with nutrients, including #vitaminc They also contain #VitaminK #potassium and other beneficial compounds. The nutritional profile of cloves includes vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, making them a valuable addition to the #diet Cloves are known for their antioxidant properties, which can help eliminate harmful free radicals from the body, bolster immunity, ensure optimal metabolism, and promote healthy skin and hair[1][2][3][4].

@smollestbunny I've had those too. External tremors, (jerks, twitches), spasms, and fierce electric shocks. Covid messes with electrolytes (magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium). Don't know why.

#Covid aggravated my B12-deficiency as well, so I upped that too but It was extra salt and lots of potassium that stopped the twitching and shocks. I already took the max amount of Mg. 1/n
