This is because red pitaya contains a natural pigment called "betanin", which is not easily decomposed and absorbed, and will be excreted with urine and stool. When this happens, there is no need to be nervous. After drinking more water and urinating several times, the color of urine will return to normal.

Pitaya has a high nutritional value, which contains rare plant albumin, rich vitamins and water-soluble dietary fiber. Besides the above nutritional characteristics, red pitaya is rich in anthocyanins, which have antioxidant, anti-free radical and anti-aging effects, and has a good preventive effect on brain cell degeneration and dementia.

Pigments that affect the color of the body:

1, chlorophyll: When you eat too many green vegetables, your body will contain a lot of chlorophyll and cellulose. At this time, the stool may appear green.

2, carotenoids: because carotenoids are fat-soluble pigments, insoluble in water, it is difficult to completely excrete from the digestive tract after excessive consumption, so the skin will turn yellow. Citrus and carrots all contain carotenoids.
