OK you need to know something about me... I have a thing about pooping... Its more then just feeling good every day... it's a necessity of life..... and pooping being a conversation that many don't like to talk about.... I know its as important as food, water, shelter and all that jazz.... but in fact I think it should be ranked right up there along side food and water.....
I am diligent about eating my probiotic yogurt, my hemp hearts, cold-pressed ground chia and flax seeds, probiotics, vitamins and mineral cocktail.... all together with my fruit.... and a light protein... (in the summer it's smoothies instead with much more added...) as my feet hit the floor in the morning I drink 16 oz of room temperature water right away..... I prime the body for pooping... because it is so important....
Now, understand that I am not afraid to discuss this.... I take this very seriously...... my kids and I would have the conversation every day.... I needed a report about colour, consistency, amount, how many times a day... all this at dinner typically..... suffice to say my sons do not have an issue discussing this at anytime, anywhere....
What I notice with most women is that they get red in the face or giggly or simply refuse to discuss it.. the moment the conversation comes up... it's like they are constipated with this topic... all up tight and scared to share.... holding onto it for dear life... ladies don't poop maybe????? wrong.. this is a big reason why there is so many issues with women and bowel disease is a growing concern.... it's a medical fact that a healthy colon helps the body not only eliminate waste but hang onto important nutrients that you are purposely putting into your mouth to feed your body.... without the colon in tip top shape... issues will start to show up in the body in many areas....
We will discuss our liver functions, our ovaries.... menopause, our hot flashes and ever our sex life yet we are too embarrassed to discuss our bowel functions... hmmmmmm...... it's normal... it's a part of life and I do believe that paying more attention to this one bodily function can help so much more in the body....
OK lecture over.... this is my thought process today... some may like it and some may not.. suffice to say for me.... I remember in younger years not wanting anyone to know that I pooped... especially guys I was dating.... no way..... that was just nasty.. a lady doesn't do that.... really?????? so what do they do... explode.... nope... if you don't poop properly you will become sick... and worse...
So ladies..... do yourself a favour and if you have issues at all... if you feel it's not normal.. talk to someone... ask questions.... see your doctor.... up your fibre..... google it... do whatever you have to do in order to ensure one of your most important function is working tip top!!!!
Ya... I know this is the weirdest topic yet... just noting on my journey today that this is important to me.... so I share..... open, honest and all about moving forward in health....
