Is it better if your urine color is white (drinking enough water)? If so, why?
Question:
Answers:
It's best if your urine is a pale yellow. When you drink too much water your urine is white-ish, and may indicate over-hydration. When your urine is dark yellow it means that you haven't been drinking enough water, and you may be dehaydrated.
Your urine is the excritement of liquid wastes and wastes that are really small (excess vitamins, etc.). When you have too much water in your system you could very well have other problems throughout your body because of it, as well as excess urine. When you have too little water in your system there isn't enough liquid to get the remaining toxins out.
Your water could be white if you were drinking too much beer.
poss bacteria makes your urin yellowish. the more you drink the more bacteria gets flushed out!
It even goes orange if youre dehydrating.eeeeek.
It is better for your urine to be closer to clear than bright yellow. It means you are getting enough liquids and are adequately hydrated. I am sure there is a more scientific reason for the color change but I am not sure what it is.
For most people it is better if your urine is a lighter or clearer colour.
Darker urine signifies dehydration. In dehydration, your kidneys would be trying to conserve water. They would make more concentrated urine where there is a greater concentration of the urinary nitrogenous wastes and this gives the urine a darker colour.
darker yellow indicates dehydration, however if your urine is perfectly clear you might be drinking too much water and flushing out too many essential electrolytes. A very light yellow tint is ideal.
The lighter the urine color, the better. It means you are not dehydrated, or over working your kidneys. A nurse once said, you want lemonade, not ice tea ( as color of urine)
Basically the yellow is the toxins being flushed out of your body. White just means the toxins are highly diluted. If your urine is very dark, and has a bad odor, it is quite possible you are becoming dehydrated. Unusual-colored urine (black, dark orange, or brown, for example) can be a sign of serious medical problems. Some other colors could be the result from pigments in the diet.
your urine should be more like the color of lemonade and less like the color of apple juice. If your urine is clear it means you are flushing out too many electolytes from your system which can cause health problems if done over a long period of time.
