Best Answer

you can die if you have too much potassium

Your body maintains a balance of sodium and potassium for proper muscle function. When you have too much sodium, you can get muscle cramps (a typical problem many women have, prevented by eating foods high in potassium, like bananas). When you take potassium supplements (as a bodybuilder may), you will get muscle cramps from the imbalance the other way. Too much sodium or potassium can have short or long term effects on health.

When the human body is deprived of potassium, it may result in various cardiac dysfunctions and may even lead to death. As a silvery white alkali metal that rapidly oxidizes as it reacts with air, potassium ions are necessary elements into the balance functioning of all living cells.
