When I was a kid, if I were told that I’d be writing a book about diet and nutrition when I was older, let alone having been doing a health related radio show for over 36 years, I would’ve thought that whoever told me that was out of their mind. Living in Newark, New Jersey, my parents and I consumed anything and everything that had a face or a mother except for dead, rotting, pig bodies, although we did eat bacon (as if all the other decomposing flesh bodies were somehow miraculously clean). Going through high school and college it was no different. In fact, my dietary change did not come until I was in my 30’s.

How to interpret your urine analysis

Your kidneys produce urine, and this urine is an excellent indicator of your current health. Healthy urine is usually clear, odorless, and free from excess sugar, proteins and bacteria.

If your urine exhibits any abnormal symptoms, it’s likely that your body is experiencing some kind of stress. The presence of certain enzymes and chemicals in the urine can indicate a number of different diseases, infections or other issues.

By taking note of the color, smell and general appearance of your urine on a daily basis, you stand a much better chance of catching any potential issues before they become serious problems.

Urine microscopy and dipstick testing are two diagnostic procedures that help to detect diseases earlier than would be possible by simply observing the appearance and smell of one’s urine. As such, these tests are common practice for most doctors practicing internal medicine.
