It won’t only help you know more about the human body but also pay attention to some serious health problems your urine might be trying to warn you about.
Urination is a crucial function that most of us don’t really know so much about. So, we’ve gathered 10 of the most interesting facts you’d like to know about peeing.
#1 – You are a urine-making machine
The human body is capable of producing up to 2.5 liters of urine on a daily basis. However, this information shouldn’t make you want to drink more water so you can keep up with your body’s production.
The urine comes from both the drinks and foods you consume every day. There are many fruits and veggies that contain water.
It’s just interesting to know what your body can do.
#2 – Peeing is a natural detox
Peeing is actually the healthiest detox your body can get. The kidneys, which are your body’s filtration system, make urine to remove toxins and other waste from your body. Otherwise, those toxins will stay in your blood.
So when you’re peeing, you’re getting rid of poisons naturally.
#3 – Many people have Shy Bladder Syndrome
Shy Bladder Syndrome, or Paruresis, is a social anxiety disorder that affects approximately twenty million individuals in the United States. This disorder means the fear of using the bathroom with other people nearby, so the sufferers are often seen as too shy.
However, this phobia is likely treatable with behavioral therapy.
In the meantime, make sure you never make fun of someone who has a phobia of peeing in public.
#4 – Peeing can make you faint!
It might be shocking, but it’s possible to sit on the toilet then suddenly wake up on the floor. In fact, this is a condition called micturition syncope, which causes people who suffer from it to faint during or instantly after peeing.
