Eat spicy and urinate - I don't think it makes you stop at the WC all day

Have you ever wondered why the need to "solve" is always high after each time enjoying hot spicy food? The answer is here.

We all understand that "the call of nature" can appear anywhere and anytime. Visit the toilet 3, 4 times a day which is nothing to worry about. However, if this number exceeds the upper limit many times, it is a different story.

According to a survey, in the US alone, about 40% of women and 30% of men have experienced frequent urination during the day.

"Call of nature" can appear anywhere and anytime.

The reason is that drinking water is no longer strange. But, according to Inderbir Gill, a professor at the University of Southern California, urinating more than usual can also come from many other factors. One of them is spicy food!

With many people, eating peppers, spicy spices or even onions, will also increase the frequency of urination.

In particular, combining these foods with tomatoes or related products such as ketchup, the need to "flush out the rescue water" is many times higher.

People tend to drink lots of water to "cool down".

So the reason is why? The main answer is that there is always a substance in spicy food that can cause bladder irritation. And as an attempt to get rid of this discomfort, the bladder will use urine to wash away the irritation.

In addition, the answer is easier to understand that when eating spicy food, people tend to drink lots of water to "cool down". And of course, this amount of water cannot stay in the body for too long, so it will soon find its way out!

According to Professor Gill, if you only occasionally encounter the urge to urinate urgently, please rest assured that you are normal.

If the frequency increases significantly or the event lasts, you should see a doctor.

However, if the frequency increases significantly or the event lasts for weeks or even months, it's time to go see a doctor. Why, because that could be a sign of more serious problems like bladder infection or diabetes.

So just say, always pay attention to changes in your body to promptly check if necessary!
