don’t our bodies need equal amounts of potassium as sodium?

383 viewsBiologyOther

I recall in science class learning about valuable biological processes, within the nerves, that are regulated by a balance of sodium and potassium flowing in and out of cells.

A vice of mine is eating probably more sodium than I should, definitely multiples higher than the potassium I consume. How is this not messing up those processes?

Sweat loses around 8x more sodium than potassium. So if you are looking for a sports drink, stick to the old school ones like Gatorade.
