The Verdict: 2016 Chevrolet Equinox vs 2016 Nissan Rogue. By now youâve probably predicted that the Nissan Rogue wins this matchup by a landslide. The Equinox is a lazy effort by Chevrolet, itâs insulting to the consumer, and it canât possibly compete with such stalwarts as the Hyundai Tucson, Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 or Nissan Rogue.
Low potassium can occur for many reasons. Use of water pills (diuretics), diarrhea, and chronic laxative abuse are the most common causes of low potassium levels. Illness and other medications may also lower potassium levels. Woman and African-Americans are at higher risk of developing hypokalemia.
Why do people take potassium? Most people who eat a healthy diet should get enough potassium naturally. However, many Americans don't eat a healthy diet and may be deficient in potassium. Low potassium is associated with a risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, cancer, digestive disorders, and infertility. For people with low potassium, doctors sometimes recommend improved diets -- or potassium supplements -- to prevent or treat some of these conditions.
