Need a little more POTASSIUM?

Our diets of processed foods has greatly disturbed our natural ratio of sodium and potassium.  We all worry about our sodium intake but fail to realize that we are becoming very potassium deficient.  Aldosterone is the hormone that controls potassium and magnesium excretion and sodium retention.  Aldosterone is suppressed in the presence of potassium deficiency or sodium excess.
