How to get rid of sodium fast after eating something that had a lot of it. will taking potassium supplements or foods like bananas help right after?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Water, time: Drink plenty of water, but not in excess. Time will help the body take care of the sodium "overload". The bananas will not help with this.
