Sodium, Potassium, and Cardiovascular Balance

 

Learn how balancing sodium and potassium regulates blood pressure, prevents fluid retention, and maintains stable movement.

Excess sodium combined with low potassium leads to fluid retention, elevated blood pressure, and vascular stiffness.

Balancing the Scale

• Reduce Hidden Sodium: Limit ultra-processed canned foods and cured meats.

• Increase Potassium: Eat avocados, sweet potatoes, spinach, and bananas to encourage sodium excretion and relax blood vessel walls.
