A higher sodium-to-potassium ratio (gram-to-gram) is significantly associated with increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure, with the effect being most pronounced in low-salt regions.

Your sodium-to-potassium ratio is a critical determinant of blood pressure. A higher ratio (more sodium relative to potassium) significantly raises blood pressure. To lower your ratio, reduce sodium intake and increase potassium-rich foods, especially if you live in a region with lower salt intake.
