What is Sodium?
Sodium is a form of mineral often known as an electrolyte, which is a substance that boosts the electrical conductivity of a liquid when dissolved in it.
Electrolytes are essential to human life since our bodies are made up of billions of cells that depend on electrical signals to work.
Those signals need to pass through liquids to get to their destinations, and those liquids need electrolytes to transport the signals. Sodium is among the most significant electrolytes in our bodies.
It works with potassium to manage a “pump” made into cells that is important for keeping their potential for action.
This cellular pump is constantly active, moving sodium ions out and potassium ions in. It’s designed to make sure cells have reasonably high levels of potassium ions and low levels of sodium ions.
Our cells use this pump to keep a balance of sodium, potassium, and fluid inside of their walls. Sodium can also help control blood volume and is associated with muscle and nerve function.
