How Well Do You Know Your Shit?

Kids love the word "Poop". Somehow it seems to send them into fits of giggles whenever they hear this word. However, poop or "shit" is no laughing business.

Apparently, your poop can tell you interesting things about your health and here is how.



From time to time, it is always a good idea to take a good look at your poop before you flush and here are a few things you can look out for  which may indicate troubles within your body systems...


Just observing the texture of your poop may not be enough information or indication of what is wrong or right. It is best to also observe the shades and colours of your poop as it will provide more information. If your poop is anything other than brown, it is always a good idea to observe and see if the next session delivers the same colour.

Also, do note that the colour of your poop may also be affected by the foods that you eat. For example, people who drink lots of beetroots for example may have dark purple stools.

Now that you have read through these stuff... how healthy is your poop? ;)

-------------------------------------------------------
PS: To get healthy poop, it will be a good idea to consume a high fiber diet with lots of water and exercise. It is however difficult to consume 20-25gm of fiber daily as most people only consume 10-15gm of fiber from their daily diets.  To get that extra 10gm of fiber in your diet, you may have to consume another 10 cups of cabbages, carrots or celery everyday! (Yes, just like a rabbit!:))

The other alternative though, is of course to consume FiberGo!:)
