What is the recommended dietary potassium-to-sodium (K:Na) ratio?

Most Americans have a potassium-to-sodium (K:Na) ratio of less than 1:2. This means that most people ingest twice as much sodium as potassium. Researchers recommend a dietary K:Na ratio greater than 5:1 to maintain optimal health.

This is ten times higher than the average intake. However, even this may not be optimal. A natural diet rich in fruits and vegetables can produce a K:Na ratio greater than 100:1, as most fruits and vegetables have a K:Na ratio of at least 50:1.

For example, here are the average K:Na ratios for several common fresh fruits and vegetables: Apples 90:1 Bananas 440:1 Carrots 75:1 Oranges 260:1 Potatoes 110:1.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
