Doctors are often hyper-focused on reducing sodium to lower blood pressure, and people are surprised to find their blood pressure does not go down after reducing their salt intake.
This is because reducing sodium won’t always correct the electrolyte imbalance that could be keeping your blood pressure high.
Research has shown that people with the highest sodium and lowest potassium ratio have the highest risk of heart attacks. The problem is the ratio, not necessarily sodium consumption. Most people in the US are consuming far more sodium than potassium.
Potassium helps to reduce blood pressure naturally by relaxing blood vessels, lowering adrenaline, protecting the inside of the arteries, and supporting insulin sensitivity.
If you suspect a potassium deficiency is contributing to elevated blood pressure levels in your body, address it before your high blood pressure becomes more severe.
