Yellow? Dark Yellow? Clear?
Confused? I'm not talking about your skin color, I'm talking about your urine (aka wizz, aka pee, aka piss). Have you looked at your urine lately? That was an awkward question. But, seriously. Have you? Have you noticed what color? Odor? Am I grossing you out yet?
If your urine is light yellow to clear, you're doing great and are drinking a good amount of water. If your urine is dark yellow you seriously need to drink more water because this means you are dehydrated. "But I don't feel dehydrated, Sarah." Well, not feeling it doesn't mean you aren't. The color of your urine is a direct indication of your hydration level. That is the first sign. Then comes thirst, irritability, headaches, dizziness, weakness, nauseous and decreased performance.
"I don't drink water, but I drink other things that have water in it like carbonated drinks and stuff." Shyeah, I've heard that comment before. Carbonated drinks also have sugar, high fructose corn syrup, caffeine (which is a dehydrator), and other things that are not healthy. Water is simply pure!! It contains no other additives that direct concern. No artificial flavors, no sugar, no caffeine.
Challenge yourself to drink more water. If you work an 8 hour shift at work, drink a glass or bottle of water every hour. When you're watching tv, drink water. When you're out on a date, drink water. Water not only hydrates your body, but it clears your skin, it helps you to feel fuller so you don't over eat, it helps you maintain a healthy weight, and it just simply feels better than a carbonated, acidic drink!
So, drink up. Drink to your health... and make your pee clean!!

Question??? What if you take a bunch of vit. and supplements, would that make it darker. I take about 10-15 pills a day. At one time ,I was drinking to much water, I was getting lite headed, someone told me I was p-ing out all of my potassium, is that true. I was drinking 12-15 full glasses of water.....
vitamins usually make your urine a bright yellow. this basically means that the extra vitamins your body doesn't need is being excreted. You're taking 10-15 pills just in vitamins and supplements??? If so, this is not a good thing.
And yes, you can drink too much water. You should only consume 1 liters per 40 pounds of your body weight. Too much water will flush out nutrients.
