do you like red heart pitaya? The Pitaya is a kind of food with high nutritional value. Is it normal for the urine to turn red after eating the red heart pitaya? 'after eating the red heart pitaya in the evening, I woke up the next day and found that the urine turned red. 'yesterday, Ms. Chen, a citizen, reported that a good friend had sent her some red heart fire dragon fruits. She ate two immediately, but when she got up the next day, she found her urine was pink.
The doctor said it was normal
'all yesterday morning, my urine was a little pink, and it didn't fade until the afternoon. 'Ms. Chen said that the dragon fruit from her friend's family will not be pigmented, but why does her urine turn red? Is it because of her physical condition? She was very worried.
For this reason, the reporter interviewed director Zheng of Urology Department of Zhangzhou hospital. Director Zheng told reporters that Ms. Chen's situation is normal, and there is no need to worry too much. Ms. Chen's urine is pink, which may be due to the high content of natural pigments in this kind of fruit, some of which have not been absorbed and decomposed, and these pigments are highly water-soluble, so the excreta are dyed red after excretion in urine and feces.

Natural pigments are harmless
If this is the case, natural pigments are not harmful to the health of adults and children. 'taking other colored food will temporarily change the excreta such as urine, which is normal. When you stop taking, this phenomenon will disappear'.
Director Zheng specially charged the public to be vigilant against urine discoloration. Eating pitaya will cause urine discoloration, which does not mean that other pathological causes of discoloration do not exist. If the Pitaya is only eaten once, and the urine is still red for a whole day or several consecutive days, it is possible to make a bloody urine, which is usually related to stones, injuries, inflammatory infections, tumors, etc. it is recommended to go to the hospital to check the urine routine in time.

So, why can appear to eat the same amount of red heart pitaya, some people urine red, some people unchanged?
According to Director Zheng, this is mainly due to the difference in people's physique. Some people have strong absorption and catabolism of this natural pigment. After eating the same amount of red heart pitaya fruit, the urine may not change color obviously.
