The body pH is a balance between positively charged ions (acid-forming) and negatively charged ions (alkaline-forming.).
Sodium is responsible to control total amount water in body, major cation outside cell.
Potassium cation major cation Inside cell.

Sodium-Potassium pump uses ATP (energy) to pump sodium out of cells and potassium back in.
Potassium and Sodium. Sodium is the main electrolyte involved in maintaining water balance within the body. When the sodium level becomes too high, an urge to drink water, (I.E. Thirst) develops increasing water intake. When the sodium level becomes low, the kidneys produce more urine to help maintain the balance.
The sodium potassium pump transports sodium and potassium into and out of the cell. look at this site. it will explain. Source: http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/olcweb/cgi/pluginpop.cgi?it=swf::535::535::/sites/dl/free/0072437316/120068/bio03.swf::Sodium-Potassium%20Exchange%20Pump
Sodium and Potassium
They help balance the pH levels of fluids in your body, if that is what you mean. Potassium especially, I think.
There are a variety of minerals necessary to your body's health. Some of the minerals specific to blood and fluids include;Chloride: A mineral that regulates body fluid volume, concentration and acid-base balance. Balance intertwined with that of sodium.Chromium: A mineral important in regulating blood glucose.Iron: A mineral that is an essential constituent of blood and muscle and important for the transport of oxygen.Sodium: A mineral that regulates body fluid volume, concentration and acid-base

sodium and potassium levels
We do not have pure sodium or potassium in our bodies; that would kill us! We really have sodium chloride (NaCl) which is table salt, and most likely potassium oxide (K2O) or some other compound with potassium in it.
sodium, chloride, & potassium

Sodium and potassium are the electrolytes that maintain the proper blood balancing. These electrolytes are some times reabsorbed from the consumed food during the process of purification in the kidney.
Cell fluids need to have enough water as well as other chemicals. The most important of those is sodium and potassium for them to be able to live.
