3. Urinating Frequently
Peeing a lot more can cause you to pee out a lot of the nutrients that your body takes in. This also includes folic acid. It doesn’t matter if you are getting a diet rich in folic acid, if you are urinating a lot, you are losing this important nutrient.
Many things can cause you to pee a lot more frequently than normal. Some things to cause you to urinate a lot more often include drinking excessive amounts of any kind of liquid, especially water, eating different water-soluble fruits and vegetables, and even medications can cause you to pee a lot more.
A few ways to combat this is to try to eat fewer amounts of these water-soluble fruits and vegetables, drink a little less water or other liquids, and ask your doctor which medications could be causing your excessive urination. Once you find out, cut back on them or cut them out altogether if you can.
