As the air temperatures increase around the world, various health problems began to emerge. One of the most important issues to be aware of in hot weather is not to dehydrate your body. You can check whether you are drinking enough water from the urine color.
WHAT DOES URINE COLOR MEAN?
Urine is essentially water and contains chemicals that the body wants to get rid of. As a general rule, the healthiest urine color is a light straw color. However, if it is dark yellow and smells, it is a clear indication that you are dehydrated.
Straw color
Neither too light nor too dark. If your urine is this color, everything is fine.
DARK YELLOW
If your pee is dark, it indicates that you are not drinking enough water.
Dehydration can cause fatigue, headaches and nausea and can have more serious health consequences for the very young and old.
RED
If the urine color is red or close to red, it is probably because of a drug you are using. Antibiotics and derivatives can change your urine color.
GREEN – BLUE
If the urine color is in shades of green and blue, you may be using one of the depression treatment medications. They can also change the color of your urine if you take a medication to relieve rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and shoulder pain.
DARK BROWN
You may be experiencing bladder problems. If you have dark brown and smelly urine, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
RED BROWN
This color may be due to blood in the urethra caused by conditions such as cystitis and painful bladder syndrome. You should consult a doctor as soon as possible.
ORANGE
If the urine color is orange, it may be due to liver disease or a problem with the bile duct.
IF YOUR URINE stinks…
If your urine smells, regardless of color, you may have a urinary tract infection. In this case, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible.
