Basics Of Nutrition

There are many things to learn about when it comes to nutrition. But the basic concept is “What goes in must come out.” Your body is like a machine: it takes what it needs from what you feed it and gets rid of the rest by urine and the bowels. 

If you notice you have a problem about elimination, you should take it seriously, go see a doctor. Many people have this problem. Don’t be shy or anything, it can be very serious to your health. 

The first step is finding out if there even is a problem. First you should see how many bowel movements you have daily. If you have one per day it’s not a problem, however it is better to have 2 to 3 bowel movements a day and more if you eat more often. But if you find you are having one per week or 2 per month, then you have a serious problem. Remember what's normal for you may be abnormal for the next person, so know the normal ranges and compare that to your daily bowel movements - e.g. if you empty your bowel every 2 days, that's normal for you vs someone else who goes daily or even after every meal. 

For some people they might say they don’t find the time. The reason could be they are out all day and would prefer to have their bowel movements at home rather than a public bathroom. But let me tell you, you will keep your colon quite happy if you go several times for the day or as needed. If you are looking for a trick it would be to eat a lot of raw fruits and vegetables, steamed beets and using digestive enzymes with your meals. Do whatever you can; it will be beneficial to you.

We have just lightly touched on the subject, but if you have a problem you should consult a doctor and seek help. Because this problem is not good for your health, take care of it today and look forward to tomorrow. May you live a healthy and prosperous life.
