Thanks, Keith. Will do. I alluded to it in the current piece, as you know:
3. The sodium-to-potassium ratio is important. Harvard researchers analyzed 24-hour urine samples over several days, examining sodium and potassium intakes related to cardiovascular disease risk. After controlling for other risk factors, they found that higher sodium levels are linked to a higher cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.
On the other hand, for every 1,000 mg increase in potassium, there was a nearly one-fifth (18 percent) lower risk of CVD. You can achieve a higher sodium-to-potassium ratio by eating more fruits, vegetables, legumes, and low-fat dairy.
Thanks again for the reminder.
