It is never right to play ragtime fast. -- Scott Joplin When I'm dead twenty-five years, people are going to begin to recognize me. -- Scott Joplin Let me see you do the 'rag time dance'...

When the stress response is ongoing other minerals can actually build up in the body, such as potassium, sodium and phosphorous. This is due to a change in intestinal absorption (since digestion takes a back seat when we are in fight-or-flight mode) and re-absorption by the kidneys of these elements.
Potassium also has a role in regulating blood pressure. Low potassium levels (hypokalaemia) can cause weakness as cellular processes are affected. Potassium is a mineral (electrolyte) in the body.Almost 98% of potassium is found inside the cells.Small changes in the level of potassium that is present outside the cells can have severe effects on the heart, nerves and muscles.ehydration, diarrhoea, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and laxative abuse are common causes of low potassium levels. It may also be caused by a lack of potassium in the diet; however, this is uncommon.
