Clear-Colored Urine
It’s often said that the color of your pee can be a telltale sign of your overall health. If it’s clear, this could be a symptom of overhydration—the condition of having too much water in your body. It usually happens when you drink too much electrolyte-rich fluids, like sports drinks. Still, it could also result from plain water consumption, which is why it’s important to ensure you’re getting enough electrolytes in your diet. When your body has too much water and not enough other key ingredients like sodium, it takes on more water than it can keep up with. That leads to an imbalance of bodily fluids and symptoms like thirst, bloating, frequent urination, and headaches.
The kidneys process excess fluid and send it along to be excreted from the body, but when the kidneys are not functioning properly, they may fail to remove enough water from the blood. The clear color of the urine is caused by the lack of waste products like urea and red blood cells, which normally give urine its yellowish tint. The absence of these waste products makes it appear more like water than urine.
