2. Encourages Electrolyte Balance

Many meals—especially processed or fast food—consist of a lot of salt. After eating, your body absorbs the sodium, which can cause water retention and even a rise in bl00d pressure. Urinating after meals helps remove the extra sodium and refresh your electrolyte balance, reducing the risk of swelling, headaches, and fatigue.

3. May Help Control Bl00d Sugar

If you eat carbohydrates or sugary foods, your blood glucose levels increase. For people with diabetes or insulin resistance, the body sometimes tries to remove excess sugar through the urine. While this is not the ideal way to control blood sugar, it shows how urination plays a role in balancing your internal systems after meals.
