#Potassium can maKe or breaK you.

* If you lack K: muscle spasms, paralysis, & you can die.
* If you exceed K: muscle spasms, paralysis, & you can die.

So take K very seriously, or K will breaK you.

Respect K, and K will maKe you.

K?

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.

“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.

Really excellent discussions during the first day of the Multidisciplinary Workshop at Laboratoire Souterrain de #Modane. I was particularly obsessed with some of the #underground biology discussions focused on improving sensitivity in studies of the effect of a lack of #radiation on living organisms. I was deeply obsessed with a discussion of #potassium-40 in the growth medium and how or if K-40 can be reduced/removed by a novel process.
