Will it rehydrate you to drink your own urine if dying of thirst?

Answer 1

i think it dont but because took in a sort of liquid it rehydrate you and not thinking because of urine

Answer 2

Urine is made out of Urea, Salt and the many toxins that have been cleaned out of your system.

When dying of thirst you are supposed to drink a lot of saline which is salt water but the salt has to be in low concentration but I would never encourage anyone to drink their own urine at any cost because urea on its own has enough punch to cause a serious migraine which would add to the one you would be having when dying of thirst. It has been reported that when a person is dying of thirst they feel the same way as someone who has a hangover and the symptoms as we may all know is serious headaches due to a lack of water for a number of reasons.

Answer 3

To a certain extent. Urine contains mineral waste from the body - salts. If you continue to only drink urine, there will be a build up of mineral content and less water each time it passes through your sytem. There will come a point (and I think it's supposed to be about 8 cycles) where there will be too high a concentration of salt for your body to be able to extract anything useful and the urine will become toxic - the concentration of salts starts to mess up your body's chemical signalling and you shut down.

Lots of superstar types drink urine when they go on their strange diets. There's little value in it if your diet is otherwise balanced and quite frankly, it's a bit disgusting. If you're going to die, on the other hand, drinking your own juices may be slightly more preferable.

Answer 4

Yes! Normal urine (where you haven't been out on the Razz or overindulging in food) is 96% water, 4% impurities. That is why normal urine is clear. If you do overindulge the colour changes to a darker hue which is caused by the impurities being purged. This is also when you have an illness such as a bacterial infection it changes colour too, this is again the body is purging itself of the dead bacteria or viruses, I hope this has answered your question.

Answer 5

No...your kidneys are only able to filter out a certain amount of waste at a time, and all that waste product goes into your urine. If you drink your urine, you're taking all the waste you just filtered out back in...and then that waste needs to be filtered out again, which takes up even more of your body's water. It's the same reason why drinking salt water causes faster dehydration.

Answer 6

Urine is matter rejected by your body..If no water is available one may be compelled to drink own urine to qench thirst.
Use of own urine to cure is suggested in book called Auto Urine Therapy( Author Morarjee Desai).But no scientific evidence for the system

Answer 7

There's a way of making it drinkable by distilling it with two bottles joined together.
Leaving the one filled with pee in the sun, the other is joined at slightly less than 90 degrees in an elevated position, preferably buried to aid condensing. The sun will evaporate any water in the urine and the vapour will rise and collect in the empty, buried bottle.

Answer 8

Some people drink it for health reasons as they think it makes them beautiful, and for survival. But it has got toxins in so only do it as an emergency. If you are in the desert and you have a polythene bag and a bucket you could dig a hole, put the bucket in it, pee in it, and wrap it in th polythen bag. Then you would get condensation to drink. If you were creative you could find some way of collecting it so as not to waste any.

Answer 9

Yes, think for example of the people shut in a mine after a disaster drinking urine and suviving that way.

Answer 10

Yes
