Hello Mr. Jelínek,
how appropriate do you find the inclusion of products like Salka, where "traditional" salt is mixed with potassium salt? From the perspective of the sodium-potassium pump balance, it doesn't seem completely inappropriate to me.
These mixtures are advantageous because they allow for the correction of sodium intake, the amount of which is significantly excessive in the diet of the average population. At the same time, they are a source of potassium, for which it is desirable to aim to achieve an intake at least around the values of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA), which, unlike sodium, is relatively challenging in practice. The excess of sodium is also related to the imbalance between Na:K, along with all its known consequences.
