What should be my electrolyte intake for optimal health?

Keep your salt intake low and your potassium intake high. Electrolytes -- potassium, sodium, chloride, and magnesium -- are mineral salts that can conduct electricity when dissolved in water. For optimal health, it's important for you to consume these nutrients in proper balance.

Too much sodium in the diet from salt (sodium chloride) can disrupt this balance. Many people know that a high-sodium, low-potassium diet can cause high blood pressure, but not as many are aware that such a diet also increases the risk of cancer. In our society, only 5 percent of sodium intake comes from natural ingredients in food.

Prepared foods contribute to 45 percent of our sodium intake, 45 percent is added in cooking, and another 5 percent is added as a condiment.

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.
