This is what happens to your body if you urinate in the shower!

This is what happens to your body if you urinate during the  shower, but you had no idea, that this can be a gesture that can help save the planet. Also, let’s think about this for a moment, mathematically. Every time you pee, you have to flush the toilet. Considering that it takes a considerable amount of water to send all the urine down to the mysterious aquatic underworld below, it’s a huge waste.

A current common flush uses 6 liters of water , and an average adult pees about 7 times every 24 hours. This means that each day he uses 42 liters of flush water for this purpose. Assuming that people urinate the same way every day, this means that in just one year, an average person uses 15,330 liters of flush water .

Considering the US alone, there are 319 million people, assuming they all pee the same amount a day, they spend 4.9 trillion liters of water in the name of urine every 365 days. For comparison, it’s like filling 1,970,000 Olympic swimming pools a year.

Now, if you peed in the shower, you massively reduce this figure. You would pee six times, not seven, a day. This means that in just one year, you would save 2,190 liters of toilet water .

Extrapolating this figure to the entire population of the United States, we have 699 billion liters of water saved. So, this is what happens to your body if you urinate in the shower!

Disinfect Wounds:  Yes, you read that right: urine can disinfect wounds . If you are injured and your first aid kit is not at hand, you can clean your wounds with fresh urine. In addition to cleaning, it soothes the tissue and relieves pain .

You can even use someone else’s pee, but only if the “volunteer” doesn’t have any infections. Of course, you should always go to the doctor when the injury is serious.

Skin Treatment:  Urine is also beneficial to fight some skin problems like psoriasis and eczema . Urea is an active ingredient in many creams and ointments. It is a more concentrated compound in the middle of your morning urine stream, that is, after we urinate for 5 seconds (this is why to do a urine test, we are asked to discard the first stream and use the rest).

You can rub fresh urine on your skin and/or use compresses. It’s best if you leave it on your skin for a few hours before washing it off.

Fungi:  Urine compress also helps fight off irritating fungal infections such as those on the feet. It works best if you rub the urine into the infected area and leave it overnight. After a few weeks, the symptoms should improve a lot.

Not coincidentally, a famous celebrity recommended on his official website that people should pee more during the shower. This caused a lot of controversy, but we also defend this idea.
