Why do we poop and pee?

Wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to do both

You might wonder how your body ends up with waste it needs to get rid of. Body processes such as digestion and metabolism (when the body turns food into energy) produce wastes, or byproducts. The body takes what it needs, but the waste has to go somewhere. Thanks to the kidneys and pee, it has a way to get out

When you do pass stool however, the relaxation of the stronger anal sphincter also decreases tension in the weaker urinary sphincter, allowing urine to pass at the same time.

It would be nice I admit but if we didn't go loo then we'd build up with toxins and die.


We poop out all the food that's not needed once the intestines have taken out all the nutrients then it's well pushed along and out of you.


You need to drink to flush out your kidneys if you don't you'll get kidney failure dehydrate and die. You wee out all the toxins in your blood.

Living things by definition excrete waste products. It goes with the territory. I agree it is a pain in the ass.

Because our bodies are required to get rid of waste if ya didn't you would die

Then what do you do with the food that you’ve eaten and all the water that you’ve been drinking even animals poop so embrace it and clear your system out

Your body would build up too many toxins and you would get sick and die.
