Let's discuss something important - are you keeping up with your regular bathroom visits? Yeah, it might seem a little awkward to discuss, but come on, it's 2024, and we're all about embracing change, right? Your bathroom habits are as crucial as your diet and exercise routine on your journey to a healthier lifestyle. So, here's the deal - if you're not going to the bathroom at least once daily, you might be dealing with constipation. And if you're only going once a week, it's time to make severe changes to your diet ASAP. Consider reaching out to a doctor for advice if this sounds like you.
How do you even know if you're constipated? Well, here are the signs:
You're having fewer than 3 poops a week
Your poop is hard, lumpy, or dry
You're experiencing difficulty or pain while pooping
You feel like the whole stool hasn't passed
It's simple - your body needs water and fiber to keep things moving smoothly. If the poop hangs around too long, it can reabsorb into your system as toxins. Can you believe even your poop can get dehydrated? I know, right? If your colon doesn't have enough fluids to absorb from waste, the stool can become dehydrated, leading to those hard, lumpy poops that are tough to pass.
Now, let's talk about the culprits behind constipation. Junk foods, red meat, fried foods, lack of fiber, processed grains, dairy, not drinking enough water, and even alcohol can make constipation worse or cause it in the first place.
But fear not; there are ways to get rid of that old poop lingering in your intestines. Here's what you can do:
Eat healthy - It's time to load up on the fruits, veggies, and whole grains.
Regular exercise - Get that body moving to keep everything flowing inside too.
Stay hydrated - Drink up because water is your best friend when it comes to keeping things moving.
Increase fiber intake - Fiber is like nature's broom for your intestines, so load up on it.
So, whether you're on a weight loss journey or just aiming for better overall health, don't underestimate the power of a regular trip to the bathroom. After all, it's all about embracing change and ensuring everything is moving smoothly, right?
