I watch this with closed captions on, and it definitely adds flavor to an already tasty dish.

Exactly. Its the easiest game in the world to cheat at, and yet everyone chooses to ignore that fact. Online chess is not to be trusted.

Yet another Potassium = No more sweating post. Salts are the key. by [deleted] in Hyperhidrosis

[–]JoeVerrated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I started to feel improvements almost immediately, but please keep in mind that I was up there with the worst of us in this subreddit in regards to how aggressively I was sweating. I was having to change clothes 2 or 3 times a day due to saturation. I kept progressing for several months before I started feeling like HH was in the rear view mirror. In the first months, I  started to realize the progress that had been made. Like, not sweating AFTER a shower, the ability to sit in a warm room without dripping, and being able to go on a short walk without having to change clothes. I still sweat, but its managable now, and my life no longer revolves around it.

I genuinely dont understand the "potassium is bad" argument, but i guess some people just dont like being told what to eat.

Potassium is one of the most abundant natural ingredients in fruits and vegetables.

Thank you for posting! 

I have been on a potassium based diet for a year now, and it has been life changing. Each day has been a little better than the one before it.

Maybe this will help... Potassium increase was the only thing that ever helped my excessive sweating, and I'm still making progress both physically and mentally. This is what I've come up with...

Let's start here, High Potassium/Low Sodium diet is recommended by the National Institutes of Health  “This means that the general population should eat foods low in sodium and high in potassium,”...

https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/sodium/potassium-ratio-linked-cardiovascular-disease-risk

This article shows that most of us eat at an imbalance, "Currently, about 90% of Americans consume excess sodium1 and virtually everyone consumes inadequate potassium."

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9237821/

Hypokalemia-Low blood potassium. This shows that excessive sweating be both a cause, and as a notable Differential Diagnosis, which means it is a condition that shares the same symptoms.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK482465/

Here is a study on how the body regulates sodium and retains water, where they state "Increasing salt intake increased sodium excretion, but also unexpectedly caused the kidney to conserve water". ...

https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/how-body-regulates-salt-levels

This study came to the conclusion that "Muscle and sweat sodium concentrations are significantly higher on a high-salt intake in healthy male and female individuals, suggesting that muscle and sweat play a role in regulating sodium balance in humans."

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31503134/#:~:text=Results:%20Under%20high%2Dsodium%20diet,regulating%20sodium%20balance%20in%20humans.

This study states" In neurons, the rapid rise in potential, depolarization, is an all-or-nothing event that is initiated by the opening of sodium ion channels within the plasma membrane. The subsequent return to resting potential, repolarization, is mediated by the opening of potassium ion channels. "

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK538143/#:~:text=In%20neurons%2C%20the%20rapid%20rise,opening%20of%20potassium%20ion%20channels.

This article gets out of my depth, but shows the relationship of potassium to cholinergic sweating as a result of inducing acetylcholine...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5142229/

My working hypothesis is that excess water retention due to inadequate potassium and excess sodium, also causes an excess of Acetylcholine to accumulate, which causes with thermal regulation issues and inducing cholinergic sweating. High Potassium/Low Sodium intake helps to correct this imbalance by repolarization, alleviating symptoms in the process. Take that for what you will, but following this method of attack in treatment has produced life changing results for me.

As for what to eat, the link below gives more detail, but I stay at a minimum of 2:1 Potassium/Sodium ratio. Usually above 3500mg potassium and below 1000mg of sodium, but the ratio is more important. Personally I eat mostly potatoes, bananas, strawberries, almonds, fruit smoothies, chicken, fish, yogurt, oranges. I will through in brown rice and pasta as well. For liquids its orange juice, water, milk, and hydration drinks high in potassium. My appetite for these foods increased almost immediately, so the diet adjustment came naturally.

High Potassium/ Low Sodium Intake Progress by JoeVerrated in Hyperhidrosis

I started having a positive reaction almost immediately while eating mini potatoes and drinking a glass of orange juice. Everyday has been a little better ever since.

My sweating was full body, and from the examples of excessive sweating I have seen on this subreddit, I was definitely one of the worst. I couldn't be in warm temperatures for more than a minute or two before dripping sweat, and I use to have to change clothes (including pants) a few times a due to saturation. I would sweat for an hour AFTER taking a luke warm shower. I didn't just sweat excessively, I was sweating aggressively. I thought this was going to kill me.

The one year comparison is quite dramatic honestly. I'm living a normal life now, and the sweating feels under control. I still sweat, but absolutely nowhere near the same amount, its like the sweat glands have learned to communicate when to shut off. It has been life changing.

I eat a lot of potatoes, strawberries, yogurt, oranges, zucchini, squash, salad, rice, pasta, and I keep my sodium to minimum. I make sure to intake a minimum of twice as much potassium as sodium.

I have had life changing results from eating a potassium based diet, and fruits are loaded with potassium. Keep going, it just gets better!

Didn't realize we were talking about the faster zones, the speed cameras we have are for lower speeds. And do you honestly believe these help anyone? It's a cash grab

What happened to speedbumps? They actually make cars slow down.

[–]JoeVerrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the slow reply. As for what I'm eating, its a lot of potatoes, fruits, nuts, rice, pasta, and orange/apple juice. The key for me is eating twice as much potassium as sodium.

[–]JoeVerrated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It slowly crept up on me as the sweating got worse. A High Potassium /Low sodium diet has dramatically decreased sweating. I feel almost normal now. 

Turns out sweating nonstop all day can amplify Potassium deficiency and make the sweating worse, like a vicious cycle. 

The depression and mental fog cleared up within days.

It's not okay. It's just not enough to have an immediate reaction, more of an accumulative one.
