What the color of your pee is warning you about your health.
Even though it is not something most people bring up in polite conversation, your urine can tell a lot about your health.
The body produces this fluid as a waste product of its intricate filtration system. It has the potential to disclose information about your diet, hydration levels, and even underlying health issues.
There is a wide range of urine colors, from the palest straw to the deepest amber, and each one conveys a different story about your health. However, you need to know what each color means in order to decipher the message.
In this video, we will go over the meaning of ten different urine colors and how they relate to your overall health.

️ Summary:
Clear or Transparent
People experience clear urine, primarily due to excessive water consumption. While clear urine is often a sign of good hydration, overly frequent clear urine may indicate that one is drinking more water than the body can use. While this is generally better than being dehydrated, extremely high water intake may lead to an imbalance in electrolytes, particularly sodium, a condition known as hyponatremia. This imbalance may cause various health issues, including headaches, nausea, and, in severe cases, increased brain pressure.
In rare cases, diabetes insipidus affects the kidneys' ability to conserve water, leading to large amounts of dilute urine, even without excessive water consumption, leading to clear urine.
Pale Straw to Dark Yellow
Pale straw to dark yellow urine typically signifies a normal hydration level and is considered a sign of good health. This color range results from the presence of a pigment called urochrome, or urobilin, which is produced from the breakdown of hemoglobin as old red blood cells are replaced. The concentration of this pigment, which in turn depends on the body's hydration level, varies in color from pale straw to dark yellow.
Amber or Honey
The color of “typical” urine falls from light yellow to a deeper amber color. The urochrome pigment naturally in your urine becomes more diluted as you drink water.
Amber or honey-colored urine typically indicates dehydration, where the body lacks enough water. This may happen due to inadequate fluid intake or increased fluid loss through sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, or fever. In a state of dehydration, your kidneys, which filter waste from the blood to produce urine, conserve as much water as possible to maintain bodily functions. This results in less water being mixed with the waste products, leading to a concentrated, darker-colored urine.
Orange
People experience orange-colored urine for several reasons, ranging from benign dietary influences to underlying health issues. One common, non-threatening cause is the consumption of foods high in beta-carotene or food colorings, such as carrots or certain artificial additives, which may tint the urine orange.
Pink or Reddish
People experience pink or reddish-colored urine, a condition known as hematuria, for various reasons. This change in color may occur when there is blood in the urine, which might be due to less alarming causes such as eating foods like beets, blackberries, or rhubarb, which may naturally tint the urine pink or red. However, it’s important not to immediately attribute the color change to diet without ruling out other conditions.
