Detailed explanation-1: -Light yellow to clear urine means you’re giving your body the fluids it needs. “When you’re healthy and hydrated, your urine color should actually have very little color to it, from light yellow to clear, ” Dr. Wolach said. “However, it’s not abnormal for the color of your urine to vary throughout the day.”
Detailed explanation-2: -When you are drinking enough fluids your body is in balance and your urine will be a pale straw yellow colour. When you have not drank enough fluids your kidneys try to save as much water as they can and cause your urine to be darker in colour (more concentrated).
Detailed explanation-3: -Pale, odourless and plentiful urine is often an indication that you are well hydrated.
Detailed explanation-4: -Colorless urine may indicate over-hydration. While not as dangerous as dehydration, over-hydration can dilute essential salts, such as electrolytes, creating a problematic chemical imbalance in the blood.
Detailed explanation-5: -When you’re healthy and hydrated, your urine should fall somewhere between colorless and the color of light straw and honey. When you don’t consume enough fluids, your urine becomes more concentrated and turns a darker yellow or amber color.
