Contrary to what you might think from some websites, neither your sodium nor potassium intake will have any effect on your risk of hypertension. It's a myth. If you develop hypertension, you may be advised to limit sodium intake, but it's not the cause of high blood pressure. Assuming normal kidney function, just eat a balanced diet and you'll get appropriate amounts of both of them.
