Congratulations on completing the quiz!
Let’s see how your answers compare to our expert’s recommendations:
Q1: (Answer: b) The colour of pale straw (pale yellow)
The ideal colour of urine should be the colour of pale straw (pale yellow).
This indicates that your kidneys are not overworked, and you are not dehydrated. Colour may fluctuate throughout the day, but if the colour change persists for an extended period, you should consult a healthcare professional.
Q2: (Answer: b)
A healthy individual might urinate 4-6 times a day if adequately hydrated and not suffering from a urinary tract infection. This frequency reflects a good balance of fluid intake and bodily needs.
Q3: (Answer: b) 4-6
This is false. Drinking plain water is not the only effective way to hydrate your body. Other fluids and foods, such as fruits and vegetables, can also contribute significantly to your hydration status.
Q4: (Answer: e) All of the above.
Common signs and symptoms of dehydration include headache, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and thirst. Recognising these signs early can help prevent more serious dehydration.
We hope our quiz has given you a refreshing reminder of why prioritising hydration is vital for ensuring optimal health and well-being.
