How often do you ‘go poop’?
How long are you ‘in there’ trying to go poop?
How successful are your pops?
Why you need to ‘give a poop’ about your poops, and pooping.
I am trying to keep this a unoffensive as possible, but you really should know why this is a important subject.
I remember my Dad going to sit in the restroom for what seemed to be an hour. and it seemed to be on a Thursday night. Routine I guess.
He would leave the light off, and the door opened a bit so he could hear the music playing in the living room, where he was making 8 track tapes from LP Albums and other records…. so he had to run the stop watch and time the songs… or what ever.
Dad died from Colon Cancer at the age of 53. Surgery and chemo didn’t help. I believe it was entirely the fault of his diet.
Do you know what I would do to be able to go back to the age of 53? That is so young. Too young to be dead from something a change in Food and Lifestyle could have prevented.
So as far as I know, Dad pooped only once a week, and that was a difficult time for him.
Dad ate the SAD (Standard American Diet) His meat was always cooked ‘well done’. He always ate gravy and white bread with the meal…. and his vegetables were … french fry potatoes.
Dead at 53.
Days after he was buried, I read an article in Prevention Magizine stating two slices of REAL Whole Wheat Bread could prevent Colon Cancer. That article also said something about Broccoli and other vegetables, but all I can recall that changed in my life was that I began to buy store brand ‘wheat bread’ and I put Alfalfa Sprouts on my salads at the Steak House.
Fiber, you know, can save your life… It could have prevented my Dads death, and so much more…. so much more…
It also helps poop time go so much better!
Fiber not only gathers up toxins from the body, but it cleans the walls of the digestive system, and carried out things that can grow into cancer that kills your Dad, and everyone else if left alone.
Did you know that the healthy time to poop is just a few hours after the food is consumed? Maybe 12 hours? You could be pooping every day, but it be ‘in there’ for two days, and that is not good!
I can proudly say I poop everyday at least once. It is not uncommon I poop three times a day.
I can go to a restroom and poop, and be out in less that two minutes.
I can also poop such a large amount that I actually have a picture of the bowl full !! I have show that picture to only three people. LeRoi, Michael, and Cody.
They could not believe the amount.
And I was out in less that two minutes…. and yes, I always wash my hands!
Oh yeah, the amount of flatulence I have is HUGE! And is always ‘dry’. (A big difference from the times pre heart attack, and pre healthy diet when you could never trust a toot… you could be asking for real trouble…someday I might tell you the story about Toms Care Repair and Bradys Liquor Store …. MAYBE) I shame other guys who think they can challenge this old man to a ‘toot’ contest. HA!
There are so many ‘side effects’ to not having regular, on time, and EASY Bowel Movements. Other than keeping the toxins that NEED to be expelled from the body, being reintroduced into the system, difficult Bowel Movements also contribute to Varicose Veins, and Hemorrhoids…. and well there is the issue of cancer……
I am amazed at the conversations I
have heard from Men lately concerning the tramitic ordeals the regularly suffer, from the lack of ‘regularity’. Some of the most ‘awful’ conversations I hear are like …..” FINALLY SUCCESS ! after a week, I finally had a poop!”
Seriously!?
I poop at least once a day, sometimes three times in one day.
I eat a lot of whole foods, plants, vegetables, fruit seeds, nuts…. and there is not fat gonna stick to me with those foods.
Did I mention I eat a LOT of those things?
Oh, I have read a number of books concerning poop, and the process involved….
Did you know if you are not pooping at least one a day that the poop in the lower intestinal area is adsorbing toxins from the poop, back into the body??
No poop = bad news…..not being regular = bad news.
Fiber is the key.
Oh sure, you can buy Fiber Supplements, throw some spoon fulls of Wheat Bran on you bowl of cereal, but it ain’t gonna help poop.
(By the way, you have heard me say I am totally NOT A FAN of Supplements, right? Read ‘The China Story’, and ‘Whole’ by T. Colin Campbell to see why I do not support the evil doctrine of reductionism….. ( I hope I spelled that correctly…)
The most IMPORTANT thing you can count, measure or fear is the amount of FIBER you are getting everyday!! NOT calories, protein, nor carbs.
You see, both my parents died from lifestyle diseases that could have been prevented by the proper intake of fiber….
…. because the only place you will get healthy FIBER is in WHOLE FOODS…
Therefore, the only place to be healthy is WHOLE FOODS.
Plants, Fruits, Nuts, Seeds, and as far from PROCESSED ANYTHING POSSIBLE.
If your spending too much time in the bathroom trying to force ‘one out’, your either killing yourself with your lifestyle, and setting family and friends up for a big heartache when you come down with a Chronic Disease, self inflicted, and preventable.
In fact I say if you are spending too much time in the bathroom trying to force ‘one out’ then you are SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME counting calories, measuring proteins, and too much time fearing carbs….
