The Power of the Sodium-Potassium Pump

The most important pump in your body isn't your heart; it’s a tiny bouncer in every single

one of your cells. It's called the sodium-potassium pump, and it works 24/7.

Using pure energy, it kicks three sodium ions out of the cell and pulls two potassium ions in.

This creates a tiny electrical charge across the cell's membrane. This isn't just

for show. That electrical potential is the secret sauce that lets your nerves

fire and your muscles contract. Every thought and every move you make is powered by these

microscopic bouncers.
