What is the proper Potassium to Sodium ratio ?

Just to say that the best suited foods for humans are variety of vegetable is definitely not sufficient. Once again balance is the key. 


For example, eggplants, figs, red raisins, red cabbage, potatoes, oranges, and cane or beet sugar are extremely acidic or yin if you will. They are all very rich (too rich) in potassium (K) and vitamin C and therefore very acidic. On the contrary, meat, fish, eggs, pumpkin, carrot, yam, apple, cherry, and strawberries are actually more on the alkaline side meaning they are richer is sodium (Na) content and therefore more yang. 


By many accounts, the ideal proportion of Potassium to Sodium is five to one making the natural unpolished brown rice the front runner and therefore the perfect food ! As it contains in itself the perfect balance of five to one. There you have it !
