Drinking sea water does not eliminate thirst

What will we do when it's hot during the day? Surely we want to drink immediately. If we are thirsty we will definitely look for drinks at least water.
Of course you can't just any water. We cannot drink sea water even though we are thirsty and are on the beach or in the middle of the sea. even we often hear the saying that says more and more drinking sea water will be more thirsty? Why does drinking sea water not eliminate thirst?
Most people will answer while joking by saying sea water tastes salty so it doesn't eliminate thirst. There is also a claim that drinking sea water can cause diarrhea.
Moreover, there are many events after drinking sea water, we will feel excessive thirst, frequent urination and even abdominal pain accompanied by diarrhea

Need water to dissolve salt

Sea water feels salty compared to ordinary drinking water. The saltiness of sea water is caused by the salt contained in it. Meanwhile the liquid in our body also contains salt, but the amount of salt dissolved in our body is 0.9%. Our body will always maintain the salt content in body fluids at around 0.9%. When our body fluids will experience excess salt, our body will automatically remove the salt content through body fluids.

If we drink sea water whose salt in the world is around 3.5%, it will certainly make the liquid in our body too thick. Sea water and salt will be absorbed into the body. Our body will have excess salt content in body fluids.
The organ system in our body will automatically adjust the salt content in the body. Our body will remove salt with our body fluids. The amount of salt that can be removed through the kidneys is in accordance with the amount of fluid. The kidneys can only produce fluids that will be discharged with 0.9% salt content.
in the case of seawater we can take an example when someone drinks 1 glass of sea water with 3.5% salt content so that the body has excess salt levels. The kidneys must work hard to regulate the body's system by expelling it.
To get rid of salt levels, you need about 4 glasses of liquid to dissolve salt in the body. because there is not that much liquid available, the body will take fluids in the cells of the body to get 4 glasses of fluid.
can be understood if our body fluids will decrease. That is why drinking sea water does not eliminate thirst but instead increases thirst.
Thus all my writing about sea water that can not stop thirst, may be useful for us all.
