By Dr. Royal Lee
Summary: The perfect primer on the roles of potassium and sodium in the body. The key to understanding these major minerals, Dr. Lee says, is to consider where they should be. Potassium belongs in cells, not the blood, while sodium belongs in the blood, not the cells. "When these minerals lose their home," he warns, "they may be the cause of trouble." Dr. Lee discusses the keys to maintaining the proper distribution of these minerals, focusing particularly on the role of the adrenal glands and the need to get more potassium in our diet—which has been largely displaced by sodium in the modern food supply—through the consumption of raw vegetables. From Let's Live magazine, 1958.
