the color of pee
Betalains are natural pigments that can turn our pee or stool a different color. Thus, if we eat a lot of beets, blueberries or blackberries, for example, our pee can turn a pink or reddish color, but we do not have to worry about this colorful change since there are certain foods, medications or artificial colors that can pigment the color of our urine and our stools without marking an alert that something is happening.
However, if the urine has a red color that persists, then it may be due to a pathology: prostate or bladder cancer, infections... so we should go to the doctor without delay.
