Q: Not that I'm a geometry expert or anything, but what shape should your poop be?
A: As water gets pulled back into your body during digestion, the mass of waste gets harder and it forms a natural S shape to form-fit your intestines. If it's not that S or banana shape and looks more like plums, nuts, and racquetballs, then it means you need to make your poop (and your digestive tract) healthier. First, you need fiber, ideally 25 grams (as opposed to the norm of 7gm). Second, you need water—at least enough to make sure that your urine is clear. In fact, you should be able to read through your urine (though we don't recommend it, at least not without gloves). Finally, you need healthy oils to help lubricate the path that it travels. We favor olive and flaxseed oil. |
