SODIUM FACT: Sodium acts together with POTASSIUM to maintain proper body water distribution and blood pressure (which is important for endurance athletes), and is therefore a key component for rehydration.
SODIUM is also important in maintaining the proper pH balance and to facilitate the transmission of nerve impulses. People with pronounced losses of sodium through heavy perspiration or diarrhea may experience decreased blood volume and a fall in blood pressure that could result in shock.
