Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. Balance

Sodium and potassium are partners. The body requires specific amounts of these in order to function properly. For most people, they should have a 2:1 ratio of potassium to sodium.

2. How Much Salt Should You Have

The majority of people require approximately 2300 mg of sodium and 4700 mg of potassium on a daily basis.

3. Should You Reduce Sodium

Most people think they need to reduce sodium in their diet. This is true if you are eating a highly processed diet, over doing your daily allowance, or not consuming very much water. But what many people are not aware of is that they may just need to balance the sodium in their body by eating more potassium-rich foods.
