Urologist W.arns: DRINK WATER LIKE THIS to Stop Getting Up to Go to the Bathroom at Night Secrets Seniors Wish They Knew Sooner!

Salt Intake and Nighttime Urination

High salt intake causes:

• Fluid retention during the day
• Fluid release at night when lying down

This leads to nighttime urination.

Reducing evening salt can help:

• Lower nighttime urine production
• Reduce swelling in legs
• Improve sleep quality

The Role of Leg Swelling (Often Overlooked)

Many seniors have mild leg swelling during the day.

When you lie down:

• Fluid from the legs returns to circulation
• Kidneys process it
• Urine production increases at night

Helpful strategies:

• Light walking during the day
• Leg elevation in the afternoon
• Compression socks (if recommended by a doctor)

This can significantly reduce nocturia.
