Hello, B! How are you?

The pro would be cutting down on your sodium intake. Most of us take in far too much each day and, for those that are sodium sensitive, it creates the risk of hypertension, congestive heart failure, heart attack and stroke.

The con would be the risk of taking in too much potassium, getting too much of it can be just as dangerous as not getting enough.

Are there any other questions I can help with?
