Thanks for sharing!! I am quite convinced these tests don't tell us anything. If those numbers go outside a very narrow range, you are on your deathbed or actually dead LOL.

Sodium and potassium are tightly regulated by the kidneys and fluctuate by the minute. :) If you have too much, you pee it out, if you need more, they suck up as much as they can get from your foods and the levels never really change except within this tiny range.
