Your first trip to the toilet in the morning can detect a lot more than pregnancy or a urinary tract infection. More than 70 markers in your urine can determine how your entire body is functioning and are key to preventing degenerative diseases, unknown gluten intolerance, low antioxidant levels that make you vulnerable to oxidative stress, and more, says Nancy Guberti, certified nutritionist and healthy lifestyle coach.
For instance, “accumulation of specific organic acids in urine often signals a metabolic inhibition or block,” Guberti says. The abnormality could mean that you’re vitamin deficient.
