For us to be healthy, these have to be in balance. One should be taking in twice as much potassium as sodium ( unlike what is in Gatorade ! ! ) . Taking in a lot of sodium means depleting the stores of potassium. If a person gets too much sodium, grave health consequences can happen. One of the most obvious is edema, especially in pregnant mothers. Edema can cause all kinds of damage AND............the official site...
