Does Potassium deplete Sodium?
Does Sodium Deplete Potassium?
Does Magnesium deplete sodium?
I know salt lowers aldosterone, but I've also seen rat studies that show that a bunch of salt actually raises aldosterone. This makes no sense.
Is there an optimal ratio? I know Peat says that as long as alkaline mineral intake is high you should be fine, but I don't believe that due to personal experience. For instance, potassium makes my muscles twitch, and salt gets rid of the twitching within 15 minutes. I've tried it a dozen times over the last year. Also my kidney function is great–no issue there. But potassium by itself makes me feel energetic and lively until the twitching starts.
If I were deficient in sodium, potassium, and magnesium altogether, how could I fix them all? It seems like one mineral always depletes another!
