fluids contain sodium. It is involved in water balance regulation, fluid
distribution across cell membranes, muscle contraction, nerve stimulation and
acid-alkaline balance. Sodium is essential for adrenal gland function.
Excessive sodium is linked to high blood pressure, potassium deficiency, and

blood sugar, weakness and lethargy, and heart palpitations. Meat broths and
zucchini are excellent sources.
