Woman holding glass of waterFor some reason, I remember seeing loads of infographics in the mid-2010s about how important it is for your pee to be clear. Any other hue, I believed, meant you weren’t drinking enough water ― and may even be dehydrated. Well, it turns out that just like the eight glasses of water a day rule, that’s a myth. Though the NHS says that “Darker urine during the day or evening may be one of the signs that someone is dehydrated,” urologist Dr. Ralph Clayman told UCI Health that the ideal colour is actually straw yellow. And while clear pee isn’t much to worry about if it happens every now and again, it can be a problem if it helps over and over. When should I worry about clear pee and why?
