Defecation or urination is our first physiological need upon waking up in the morning and is also the first thing on our minds. After a whole night’s rest and organ repair, our bodies accumulate a lot of waste toxins. If these are not expelled in time and accumulate within our bodies, they can severely impact our health. Toxins and waste within the body are often expelled through feces or urine, so we can reflect on our health based on our bowel movements after getting up in the morning. This is particularly true for men; if there are no three phenomena mentioned below upon waking, your liver is likely in good condition, and you need to maintain that!
1. Abnormal stool color
Men can observe the color of their stool when they go to defecate after waking up. If your stool color is a light yellow and it washes away easily with water, this is considered normal. Many people notice that their stool color turns black upon waking, and if this condition persists for a long time, it may indicate a problem with your liver, which is causing a change in stool color. In this case, you should take it seriously; your first reaction should be to consult a doctor to check if there are any health issues, ensuring early detection and treatment to maintain your health!
2. Abnormal urine color
After getting up each day, we will engage in urination, so we can closely observe the color of our urine to determine if there are any changes. If the urine color is still the normal light yellow and relatively clear, without much foam, then your liver is likely healthy, with no signs of liver dysfunction. Some men notice that the color of their urine becomes abnormal after waking; it may be darker or deeper than usual and accompanied by persistent small bubbles, which could indicate an issue with the liver. The liver is the largest and most important metabolic organ in the body and is responsible for detoxification. If the liver has some issues, it can cause disorders in the urinary system, resulting in proteins and cells entering the urine, causing the urine to darken. More seriously, if the urine appears red, this is a direct signal from your liver indicating a potential disease, and you should see a doctor promptly!
3. Lack of the urge to defecate
Whether male or female, the first physiological need upon waking is defecation, which includes both urination and bowel movements. If, after a whole night of rest, you wake up without the urge to defecate, it is sufficient evidence that your liver function has a problem; this indicates that no waste toxins were produced overnight to be expelled from the body. At this time, you should consider whether your normal metabolic level is functioning properly.
If a man experiences any of the three symptoms mentioned above after waking, he should pay attention to the daily care and maintenance of his liver, focusing on early detection, treatment, and prevention. This approach will benefit our overall health. Moreover, it’s essential to maintain good dietary habits, avoid smoking and drinking, engage in regular physical exercise to strengthen muscle development, reduce late nights, and drink more water!
