We usually do not give much thought to our urine before we flush it out of our sight daily; however, not many know that the simple characteristics of urine such as color, volume, and odor can speak volumes about our body''s health. Urine is your body''s fluid waste, and is primarily made up of water, salt, and chemicals such as urea and uric acid. The urine is formed in the kidneys when they filter out toxins and waste products from your blood.
