Dr. Oz has taught us that the perfect poop takes on the
shape of the letter “s” or “c” with a consistency volume that holds this
cylinder shape (not hard, not soft).
On his show he showed a visual of the Bristol stool chart
that reflects stool samples in 7 forms: #1 individual small nuggets (constipated-
plop when they hit the water), #2
cobblestone cylinder (nuggets shapes attached to each other) #3 slight nugget
shape contour in cylinder form, #4 long smooth cylinder (perfectly balanced diet),
#5 larger loose nuggets, #6 several large chunks #7, loose stool (runny
without shape- digestion is happening so quickly, the water isn’t getting
absorbed).
Ideally it is healthy to have a bowel movement at least once
a day. The key to this is all about fiber (you need 30 grams a day). You can
find this in vegetables, fruits, popcorn, whole grains, beans, tomato juice and
much more. You also need plenty of water to get the exact same healthy shape
each time.
Poop might be a taboo topic but it really is a good way to
assess your health.
