Question I was wondering would you please explain to me: why when you eat salty foods,
your always thirsty?
Thanks
Answer Dear Cameron,
I found this on Wiki answers:
The body struggles to maintain a constant level of salts as well as water for proper functioning. If you eat too much salt, your kidneys have to dispose of the excess. Excreting salts requires that water be sent along with the salts into the urine. Since you are urinating out some of your body's water, your brain tells you to drink more, so you feel thirsty.
