Urine is an excellent measure of dietary quality. The color, odor, and particulates in urine can all be affected by an increase in specific minerals in the diet. Cloudy urine is the most common anomaly.
Dehydration, urinary tract infection, or inflammation of the prostate in males or the vagina in females, sexually transmitted infections, kidney stones or nutritional excess are the most common causes.
Knowing the causal dietary elements can help you eliminate them before consulting your doctor to figure out what's wrong.
7 such foods and beverages are listed below:
1)Salty foods: such as processed chips, canned foods, and cured meat Dehydration and murky urine result from a high salt consumption combined with a lack of water.
2)High fructose corn syrup: When ingested in excess, this seemingly harmless ingredient to practically every packaged food item, particularly sugary sodas and desserts, causes a rise in uric acid production, resulting in cloudiness.
3)Dairy products: A high phosphorus intake causes murky urine. When a person has underlying kidney disease, this process is accelerated.
4)Meat: This includes red meat and poultry, both of which release phosphorus in excess, which, when mixed with salt in processed meat, causes cloudiness in the urine.
5)Seafood: Certain varieties of seafood, such as sardines, anchovies, and shellfish, contain purines, which are converted to uric acid and cause urine discoloration.
6)Alcohol: Drinking too much alcohol causes dehydration, which results in a change in urine color.
7)Caffeine: Excessive use of coffee, tea, notably black and green teas containing caffeine, causes water loss and dehydration.
When consumed in moderation, all of the foods and beverages listed above provide health benefits. The trick is to eat a well-balanced diet and stay hydrated.
Consult your doctor now if the cloudiness in your urine persists or is accompanied by pus, discharge, pain, or fever after you've looked into your food.
