You will help maintain healthy blood pressure

People know excess sodium can elevate blood pressure, but fewer realize potassium partners with sodium to steady it. Your kidneys filter blood and remove surplus fluid as urine. The sodium to potassium balance dictates how much fluid you retain. Too much sodium with too little potassium leads to fluid retention and rising pressure. Fewer than 2 percent of U.S. adults meet potassium targets, leaving many vulnerable. Two bananas a day help restore this balance and support a healthier reading.
