2. Imbalances
Our bodies operate with a delicate mineral balance. Minerals are a critical element for maintaining our health. When we experience mineral imbalance, it may result in the onset of seizures, which may be life-threatening in some cases. The most common mineral deficiency involved with the start of paralytic ileus is a potassium deficiency.
Potassium helps to regulate the nervous response. Patients who experience potassium deficiency may notice signs of cramping occurring in the muscular system. Potassium deficiency may also cause the bowels to start to cramp as well. If the patient does not balance their mineral levels, it can result in the onset of paralytic ileus, as well as a host of other adverse health conditions.
Patients that experience frequent dehydration is at risk of developing mineral imbalances and electrolyte deficiencies that end up causing the onset of paralytic ileus. It’s vital that you remember to stay hydrated throughout the day, especially when working out in the sun.
