Good morning, oh what a
night, I woke up every hour or two with a dry mouth and it was
driving me crazy. This morning I can tell you why, my nose is running
but also slightly blocked so I reckon I was breathing through my
mouth a lot. So I have taken a hayfever relief tablet, so let's see
how that works.
Anyway here are this
weeks gross facts, this week it is urine.
When
it comes out pee is cleaner than spit
Urine
is 95% water, the other 5% is old body cells, unwanted material from
your food and salt
Ancient
Egyptian doctors used to taste a persons urine to check if they were
diabetic
You
pee between one & two litres of urine a day, which means
throughout your life you could pee enough urine to fill a small
swimming pool, 45,000 litres that would be
Your
pee is yellow because of a chemical called urochrome
If
you eat asparagus your pee will smell of it
Most
people can control the speed of their pee by using the muscles
underneath their bladder, but not me I can not do that.
Male
lobsters have bladders in their heads and shoot pee at each other
Interesting information. Thanks for your comment of our Lucky boy.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo-Anne ... great when I next eat a lobster, not that I do very often, I'll now remember it spurting forth its urine - not good! I do know about the diabetes tasting method ... but the rest - I'm off for my cup of tea - cheers Hilary

ReplyDeleteThe clogged nose thing and dry mouth from breathing through your nose when sleeping--been dealing with that for two months! Sucks.
All interesting but I did know about urine, it came with my training :)
