Wellbeing Tips!!! 5 Colors Of Urine and What They Say About Your Health

 

The colour of your urine can indicate one’s health state and point to what goes on inside the body. 

It’s important to take note of how your urine looks like (note the colour) as well as the sensation when passing it.

The colour of urine can tell if some organs aren’t functioning well, if there’s a deficiency (an indication to improve diet/ load on vitamins) and the general state of being.

For instance if there’s blood in the urine this may point to problems with the kidney, urinary tract, urethra or bladder.
