Best Answer

When the body has too much salt in it, the kidneys will excrete the excess salt into the urine, and they will also increase the amount of urine produced, in order to more easily flush out the excess salt. But to produce urine, the kidneys also need to obtain water from the blood, and the body must replenish its supply in order to avoid dehydration. Hence, you get thirsty.
