Your piss- Which color is the good color

raven56706

I drink about 10 cups of water a day. From morning to dinner, it goes from light yellow to clear. But some people here have said that clear isn’t good. So begs the question,

Which color is a good color and shows that your metabolism is working?

I really don't know....I know when I am going to pee every 15 minutes or so...mine is usually clear!!

I read once that clear means you're drinking enough water. If it goes clear after a few glasses a day, then your body probably doesn't need the suggested 8 glasses. If it's too yellow then you're not drinking enough.

Again, this is something I read once, so I'm not sure if it's accurate.

FairyMiss

Clear is healthy & hydrated.

Mine is always clear by the end of the day too. I think that's a good thing.

There is no need to drink til you're clear. A light yellow is fine. If you're clear that means you are super hydrated and that really isn't necessary. You don't want to be dehydrated but what's the point of drinking so much that there's nothing left to filter and your kidneys are just getting rid of excess water? We never do anything normal, everything is always overkill. This water hype is overkill in my opinion. Even in the hospital, when we are pouring IV's into people, and have them on catheters, they never get clear, always light yellow. I can't imagine how much you guys are drinking to get to clear. It can't be good for you.

CLEAR IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD.

Clear = You're Very Hydrated.
Yellow = Dehydrated.

But certain veggies/foods can lead to change in colour -

The weeks I am taking my estroven pills my pee is bright yellow, almost neon. When I am not taking them it is clear, or really close to clear.

My fiancé is in the Army. Is his basic training, they've told him that it should be clear. If it's yellow, it means you're dehydrated!

Mine is clear or slightly straw coloured, and its like that all the time as i drink water all day

Urine is never really clear, but the lighter the tint of yellow the better. It means your body is better hydrated and really has nothing to do with metabolism. Remember urine is flushing bad trash from the blood which filters through your kidneys. Its flushing out things your body doesn't need. I guess fats might be a part of that but not all that flushes out of the system. More water the better.

It doesn't matter unless it's dark brown. Then you have rhabdomyolysis and need to rush to the ER before you go into kidney failure.

Clear is what you're AIMING for, so good job! To be healthy it should NEVER be dark yellow- that's dehydrated. Barely light yellow is what you want every day, to show you're drinking enough. Clear is spectacular & a great goal especially if you're working out hard.
