Let's Talk About Pee

With all the talk about our new president, the latest diet fad, the newest celebrity gossip, and figuring out ways to have peace in the Middle East, nobody ever has time to talk about pee anymore. We talk about all the other crap in the world, why not our #1. Pee is always pushed to the wayside. Below I will give you some great conversation starters about urine. You will learn a lot and some will make you laugh so hard you might pee. AHA!

How About a Tall Glass of Pee with Dinner

You laugh, I am serious and so is NASA. Did you know that NASA has been testing ways to recycle our urine? In blind taste tests astronauts were not about to differentiate between the regular water and the purified urine.

Some often wonder if you can drink urine before it is purified. I would not suggest it, but experts say that urine is sterile and can be consumed without any form of purification. They say that unless you are already less than healthy, the small amounts of chemicals and waste in urine can cause a health hazard, but for the most part, a healthy individual will not experience adverse health reactions. Well, maybe a gag-reflex reaction.

Does Asparagus Make Your Urine Smell Bad

Eat asparagus and you can answer this question yourself. Asparagus does make your pee have a much stronger odor than normal. Other foods can cause this reaction as well. Therefore, before you become overly concerned about the smell of your urine you should take into consideration what you have consumed that day. The odor causing green stalks can cause a change in your pee smell rather quickly. Your urine will stink in less than half an hour. That is some strong asparagus if you ask me! Not everybody has the gene that allows us to smell asparagus. Estimates show that only 40% of us have the ability to smell the odors emitted by eating asparagus. Lucky them!

The Healing Effects of Pee Therapy

We all know that people come up with some oddball remedies in their quest for natural healing, but Urine Therapy. Come ON! However, some people do it and for that reason, I feel the urge to share it with the rest of you. I am not suggesting you try this, but internet research will show that many people actually try these methods. In fact, somebody reading this article may have stumbled upon this while researching ways to use urine therapy. Let me stop your search by listing what Urine Therapy actually is.

Some people believe that urine has a medicinal effect or healing effect. By rubbing pee on your skin or drinking it, you can note health benefit-THEY say. The all-powerful and all knowing THEY.

We all know how much we trust THEY though. Again, they say that drinking pee or rubbing it on the skin will help reduce the chances of cancer. They also claim that drinking urine cures a sore throat. I don't know about that, I think I would rather try one of those overpriced, chemical filled over the counter sore throat remedies before I try drinking my own pee. Sometimes avoiding the drug companies just is not worth the sacrifices we have to make in order to "stick it to the man!"

Urine Therapy supporters do suggest you only use the middle stream urine. Avoid the first and last squirt of urine; use the middle stream for your urine therapy needs.

When to Talk About Pee

Well, so you have learned a few facts about #1 you can share with family, friends, and co-workers. I do not suggest this as banter for your first date, job interview, or when being interrogated by the police-unless the situation warrants such topics.
