Episode 056: It’s another instalment of Real Health Radio and this week I’m looking at the topic of fluid intake and urination.
We’ve all heard that we need to drink 1.5L or 2L or 8 cups of water a day, but how true is this? How often should you be urinating and what colour should it be? Does coffee and tea count towards your fluid intake? We cover all of this and much more as part of the show.
