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

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?

both sodium and potassium are (generally) very water soluble and your body actively manages them with your kidneys. if you have more than you need of either you will pee it out.
