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

387 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?

Evidence is that your sodium/potassium intake ratio is very important. It’s difficult to study, but if you’re overindulging sodium you probably want more potassium.

Don’t overdose potassium, though, and you probably get more than you think.
