If your blood pressure is too high, chances are you were told to reduce your sodium intake. This is not always necessary for all people since this recommendation would only apply to those who are sodium sensitive. It is not sodium that aggravates high blood pressure but an excess of sodium in relation to potassium.

Sodium and potassium are two of the body's major electrolytes that work as a team to conduct electrical flow in the body. Together, they regulate cell membrane activity, nerve transmission and fluid retention.

When you get too much sodium and not enough potassium your blood pressure rises. You also get muscle cramps, fatigue, irritability, confusion, muscle weakness, abdominal bloating and even heart disease.

So how much sodium and potassium should you get? The ideal ratio is to get 5 times as much potassium as sodium in your diet. Unfortunately, the standard American diet is backward - providing twice as much sodium as potassium!

You can take potassium supplements but you will actually get better results by eating a diet rich in potassium. These include yogurt, avocado, cantaloupe, bananas, beans, potato skins, raisins, apricots and oranges. You can also use Lite salt which is regular salt with potassium added and you will never taste the difference.
