What Your Urine Color Says About Your Health

Introduction

Your urine is more than just a bodily waste — it can be a window into your overall health. While color can naturally vary depending on diet, hydration, or supplements, certain shades may signal health concerns. Paying attention to these subtle changes can help you catch potential issues early.
