You will support healthy blood pressure

Most people know excess sodium can raise blood pressure, but sodium and potassium together influence balance. To control pressure, your kidneys filter blood and remove extra fluid, sending it to the bladder as urine. They fine tune how much fluid you retain.
The sodium potassium balance pulls surplus fluid from the bloodstream. When that balance is off, more fluid stays and pressure climbs. Fewer than 2% of US adults meet the daily potassium target, leaving many at risk.
