1
You produce between two - three pints of urine every day, but most of us still pay little attention to our liquid waste. So, what does your pee say about you? And could it be a clear indicator of your body's overall health?
2
Before you pee, the kidneys filter water soluble waste by absorbing the nutrients it needs to keep, like sugar, back into your body, and getting rid of the things your body doesn’t want, like toxins. The liquid waste then flows to your bladder where it is stored until eventually being peed out.
3
If your urine is brown, it could be from eating a lot of rhubarb, fava beans or aloe. It is also a side effect of some medications such as laxatives, muscle relaxants and antibiotics.
4
More seriously it can be a sign of liver disorder or kidney disease.
5
If you’re seeing purple, you may be suffering from a rare inherited disorder known as porphyria.
6
Porphyrias cause your body to be deficient in the enzymes which produce heme, an essential part of red blood cells.
7
Green urine? It could be from a new medication or vitamin. Some green food dyes don’t get absorbed by your body and can be excreted in your urine, so a green stream is not always something to be alarmed about, especially after St. Patrick's day.
8
If your urine is blue, you likely have familial hypercalcemia, an inherited disorder found in children which is caused by excess calcium in the blood also known as blue diaper syndrome.
9
Some medications have methylene blue in them which can cause urine to turn blue / green.
10
If your urine is pink or red, there may be blood in the urine. This could be due to a variety of conditions from an enlarged prostate, bladder cancer or even chronic lead poisoning.
11
But red urine can also be caused by different types of medications or from eating richly coloured foods like beets and blackberries. In fact beeturia is the technical term for peeing pink after eating too many beets.
12
If your urine is orange, it could be from eating excessive amounts of food containing high levels of vitamin C or carotene such as carrots. It’s also caused by drugs, like a painkiller called Pyridium given to people with urinary tract infections which turns urine bright orange.
13
Normally, urine should be a shade yellow, and it gets this yellow colour from the pigment of urobilin, which is a product of the breakdown of heme, an essential part of your blood.
14
Depending on how much water you have in your body your urine will either be diluted or concentrated with urobilin. Honey coloured? It means your body has reabsorbed a lot of water to keep you hydrated so now there is a higher concentration of urobilin in your urine making your pee appear amber coloured. You need to drink water right now. Dark yellow, this is normal, but there is more urobilin so you will want to drink water soon. No colour at all means you have been drinking a lot of water. It could also mean you have consumed caffeine or alcohol which inhibits the ability for your body to reabsorb liquid in the kidney, meaning you pee out way more water.
15
Transparent yellow, you’re normal and healthily hydrated.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
