Nighttime bathroom trips linked to salt intake. A recent study has found that people over the age of 60 who wake up in the middle of the night to urinate may need to reduce the amount of salt they consume. Researchers from Nagasaki University monitored 300 volunteers and found that reduced salt intake lowered bathroom trips from twice a night to just once. In the study, 98 people also ate more salt than normal and their bathroom trips increased significantly. While it’s not clear what is causing this connection, researchers think it may be tied into the prostate gland.
