You’ll Help Maintain Healthy Blood Pressure
While it’s well-known that excessive sodium can lead to high blood pressure, many people don’t realize that potassium and sodium work together to regulate it. Your kidneys filter your blood, removing excess fluid, which is then directed to the bladder as urine. This process relies on a delicate balance between sodium and potassium.
When this balance is disrupted, more fluid is retained, leading to increased blood pressure. Unfortunately, less than 2% of American adults meet their daily potassium requirements, putting many at risk for hypertension. Eating two bananas daily can help restore this balance and support healthy blood pressure levels.
