Dietary sodium is a major determinant of urinary calcium loss (1) . High-sodium intake results in increased loss of calcium in the urine, possibly due to competition between sodium and calcium for reabsorption in the kidneys or by an effect of sodium on parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion.
Focusing on potassium alone ignores the greater influence of sodium on blood pressure, which is correlative. The more sodium you take in -- mainly from the salt added to foods -- the higher your blood pressure.f your blood pressure is higher than normal, a mineral imbalance in your diet may be at least partially responsible. Most Americans consume improper amounts of the potassium and sodium that regulate the force exerted on the walls of your arteries by blood pumped from the heart.
