Does Being Hydrated Make You Pee More?

Does Being Hydrated Make You Pee More?

It may seem obvious, but too much water will make you pee more. That could lower the salt in your blood to unhealthy levels. Follow the “Goldilocks” rule: Drink enough to keep your urine clear or light yellow, but not so much that you spend all day in the bathroom.

How many times a day should you pee if you drink a lot of water?

How much you consume other liquids and water during the day will impact the rate at which you pee. If you drink 2 liters of water a day, which is the recommended daily amount, expect to urinate about once every four hours. Your miles may vary but that's an average.

Why do I pee so much after drinking water?

Sometimes when you're drinking that much water, you're probably going to the bathroom every hour, every two hours because your body is getting rid of the water but the kidney's doing it's job to kind of get the electrolytes out, so you're going to be urinating a lot.
