Do you ever wonder what happens to that meal you did not eliminate?
If you are not experiencing a bowel movement for each meal, you are storing that meal in your colon!
“Dear MaryAnn, I found your website useful and very well executed for your readers. I was able to find some important information about keeping a healthy colon which is especially important to me, as my father passed about 9 years ago due colon cancer. Thank you for this opportunity to educate myself.” – J
Is Your Sunday Dinner Still in Your Gut the Following Friday?
The average American has only about three bowel movements a week. A healthy person with a good diet and proper elimination should have three bowel movements a day.
If you are having only a few bowel movements a week, at the end of one week, you are 18 bowel movements short! By the end of the month, you are 72 bowel movements behind. By the end of the year, you are 864 bowel movements behind (and storing all of that in your colon).
Death Begins in a Clogged Colon
It’s no wonder the body starts to break down and become diseased.
Let’s face it — if your infant or young child was not having regular bowel movements, would you be concerned? If your pet dog did not have daily bowel movements, would you bring your pet to the vetrinarian? So why then, do American adults think it is ‘normal’ for them to only have a few bowel movements in one week?
Some interesting facts:
- 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
- In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is over mistaken for hunger.
- Mild dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 3%.
- One glass of water stopped midnight hunger pains for almost 100% of the dieters in a University of Washington study.
- Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
- Some research shows that 8-10 glasses of water a day can significantly ease back and joint pain for many sufferers.
- Just a 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short term memory, and difficulty focusing.
