Most people understand that excessive sodium causes elevated blood pressure, but sodium and potassium collaborate to control it. To regulate blood pressure, your kidneys filter blood and extract surplus fluid, directing it to your bladder as urine. Your kidneys manage how much fluid your body retains by adjusting this volume.

Excess fluid moves from your blood to your bladder through the balance between sodium and potassium. When this balance becomes disrupted, more fluid accumulates and blood pressure increases. Many people face high blood pressure risk because fewer than 2% of US adults achieve the recommended daily potassium intake.
