What if your body organs could talk? Like, "Hey, I am your kidney, and you think of me as delicate and fragile. Fragile! When does this happen? I have filtered 200 litres of blood round the clock! Would you please show me a little respect?" But this is not happening; fortunately, your body has its language that tells you if there's something wrong happening inside your body. From runny nose to headaches and fever, all these are your body's own way to tell you that you're not in good health, and you need to get immediate medical help to get your body back on track.

Talking about the body's fluids, such as urine, might not be the most entertaining topic to discuss in public, but your urine can be used as an accurate tool of diagnosis that can tell a lot about your health.

The color and texture of your urine say a lot about your health and your kidneys' functioning.

• Having yellowish or lightish honey-colored urine that indicates dehydration
• If you’re having cola or pink-colored urine then it confirms red blood cells in urine
• Having dark urine and smelly urine indicates kidney dysfunction

In the same context, having foamy urine also indicates something that shouldn't be overlooked if you want to be in good health. If you constantly have foamy urine, then there might be a strong possibility that you're suffering from proteinuria. Proteinuria is a serious health condition in which your urine has a higher concentration of protein cells that seeps out from the body when you pee. Having protein loss in urine for a longer period indicates that your kidneys might have stopped working properly.
