Up Close and Personal, Number #1
One of the reasons I believe Dr. Oz is so successful is that he seems to constantly delve into areas of health concerns that most people don’t want to discuss openly. Today, I want to go to that place up close and personally. We all do it, some more than others, some when they laugh (there’s medicine for when this happens); this is a normal elimination process of the body; it is urinating. I won’t go there with some of the many other common names that refer to urine, but I will mention #1.
The whole point of urinating is ridding your body of toxins flushed out through the kidneys, meaning if you notice something peculiar, it might prompt you to look into it. Urination may occur as an involuntary reflex in infants, some elderly individuals, and those with neurological injuries.
The color, smell, and amount of urine you produce can be a window into what’s happening inside your body. Urine has a variety of colors, as shown below. It ranges from a deep amber or honey color to a light straw color, with many golden variations. Here’s a chart of urine colors and what they indicate.
