How Tiny Minerals Affect Blood Pressure

High blood pressure, or hypertension, occurs when blood force against artery walls remains too high for too long, putting extra pressure on the heart and blood vessels, leading to serious health issues like heart attacks, strokes, and kidney disease.

Tiny minerals in the body, called electrolytes, play a significant role in blood pressure behavior. Electrolytes are minerals with an electric charge, including sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, which help balance fluids, muscle contraction, and heart and nerve function.

When electrolyte levels are off, it can impact health, including blood pressure.

Electrolytes help with many important jobs in your body.
