It all makes sense now 😅 x
Have you ever noticed that you need to pee more when it’s cold outside?It’s all cause by something called cold diuresis, which is a process your body goes through to regular itself when temperatures drop.Dr Diana Gall, from online service Doctor 4 U, says: ‘Cold diuresis can occur when the body’s temperature lowers.
‘The biological response is to redirect blood to the core to create warmth, while the kidneys release extra fluid to stabilise the pressure. ‘And it’s this process which boosts urine production, giving you the urge to wee more in the cold, winter months.’Our bodies can be super weird, and there hasn’t been a plethora of research into the exact temperature it needs to be to start the process of cold diuresis.Despite this, though, Dr Gall says: ‘We do know you’re likely to feel the effects if you’re standing around outside this winter – and it means you might need to know where the toilets are if you’re visiting the winter market.
It’s not dangerous in most circumstances, but it can affect the balance of our bodies in terms of salt, water, and minerals, and become worrisome. ‘It can lead to conditions like ‘hyponatremia’, when there’s not enough sodium in the body, or ‘hyperkalemia’, too much potassium, and ‘hypokalemia’, not enough potassium,’ says Dr Gall.
