Drinking your own urine for health benefits

I've heard of it before because I have friends who lived in India.
I've also heard of bathing psoriasis in aged urine.
An aunt from Ireland used to wipe her face with her baby's wet diapers. She said it was great for the skin, and she did have great-looking skin.

But ewwwwwwwwwwwww!

Urine contains urea. Urea is a great moisturiser, and probably explains her great skin.

Interesting; thanks!

Mine is LOADED with HCG. It's liquid gold for any diet.

$100 per cup!

Lmao! I'm totally seeing GYN's across the country fighting with their nurses over who's going to take the shot of HCG filled urine.

I have an uncle that has done this every morning for his entire life. Just the thought of it makes me want to vomit. But he has already been incredibly healthy and he looks very young for his age. I don't know if the two were related. If I were stranded in the desert, I would probably die before choking down my own urine tbh.

Wow! have you ever asked him about why he does it? I felt like the odd one out in this group and couldn't quite summon up the courage to ask questions...

I have asked him. Someone told him it was good for him a long time ago, someone he obviously trusted a great deal, lol. He tried it, swears it helped him have more energy, overcome some health issues, and he just never looked back. He also eats raw eggs.

Well ... good for him. Hope it wasn't an April Fool joke on the part of the friend, lol. Gimme a raw egg anytime...

Lmao, I don't even know that it's a friend that told him that. I'm going to have to call and ask him.

For people who use prescription medications, this could actually be really dangerous. A lot of meds are filtered into your urine and by drinking it you would be adding it back into your system on top of the new pills you took that day, which could lead to an overdose. So even if it wasn't completely disgusting, I would never do it.

Heard of it just never wanted to be that healthy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And still don't want to be !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

Lol! I so agree with you.

I couldn't even imagine doing this, but it is not as strange as it sounds. There are actually quite a few athletes who do this. Former UFC champion Lyoto Machida drinks his urine.

Yea, I was going to mention him too. He drinks his morning urine everyday.

This conversation reminds me of the movie The Bucket List and his fancy coffee! lol
