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.
