Someone reminded me that we could do with a refresher about the colour of our pee.

Here is the link to the original post. This is very close to my heart at the moment, with only having one kidney now it is so important that I do not get dehydrated. So here are some links so you can keep a close eye in your own hydration

Does Hidden not have a Dulux colour chart reference for that?

My wee goes very dark after drinking a pint of water with a soluble vitamin C in it.

Strangely it also goes dark after a 2 and a half hour martial arts session, even though in that time I'll get through a litre of very watered down lucazade sport.

This is very timely in the Summer too. I have to admit I hadn't taken too much notice of this till I did the Exmoor marathon with a lady that ran the Marathon Du Sables and she explained to me about the importance of the colour and frequency of running during a race. She said those that had dark concentrated wee did not finish..... I hydrate far more now and see that is key to endurance and health too!!!! Thanks for sharing.

It is so important, only once did I make the mistake of not 1) going to the loo before a HM and 2) not drinking enough. The upshot was two weeks later I had a chronic kidney infection that started from that day. Never again. Especially not now!!! 😳.
