Our colons are loaded with repulsive deposits.The bowel movement is the one of the way out of waste from the body. Bigger Poop the better Poop 🙂

The colon cancer is taking faster pace and one of several reasons is intestinal transit time. Sometimes, we don’t realise as we have daily bowel movement, we still face constipation as what we flush could be eaten last week.

Our Dietary Habits matters to take out the food from one end to the other that is oral-anal transit time. Plant based diet takes 1-2 days, on the other hand Conventional diet takes 4-5 days. We can take a simple test to understand the oral-anal transit time by consuming beets and checking how much time it takes to transit, as you notice your stool turns pink and if takes less than 24 hours transit time then your Digestion System is going good otherwise need a good change.

Don’t underestimate your Constipation – It is becoming a common Gastrointestinal complaint and turning people to doctors for several health issues – from strain in passing small, firm stool which causes hiatal hernia, varicose veins, hemorrhoids and painful conditions like anal fissures.

GEAR up with Fiber intake– This is one nutrient deficiency that results in constipation. Fiber is mostly found in plant based foods.A Study also suggests that strictly eating plant based diet is likely to have daily bowel movement.
