Poop

All right, we all do it... And no one likes to talk about it... But it is one of the most important bodily functions we have and a huge indicator on how healthy you are and how your diet is affecting you.
A healthy bowel movement should have a solid consistency with out being hard, and you should have at least 1 a day but with a healthy high fiber diet 2-3 times a day is not uncommon...
Constipation can cause high blood pressure, hemorroids, and polyps that could lead to colon cancer.
Diarrhea depletes the body of sodium, potassium, and water, leading to high blood pressure light headedness and fatique
I myself enjoy a good poop and if I go a whole day without one it can throw off my whole being...
Working out regularly can help stimulate the bowel track, hula hooping, pilates, yoga, and ab twists are wonderful for massaging the bowels.... I hope I wasn't too forward and if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to ask! :-)
