Constipation

Let's talk about poo, because good health starts in the gut! If your bowels aren’t working as they should, it can affect everything from your energy levels to your skin health.

I was recently shocked to hear someone say that having a bowel movement once a week was "normal." Healthy digestion means going at least once or twice a day. If you’re not, your body may be struggling to eliminate waste properly, which can lead to bloating, headaches, skin breakouts, and general discomfort.

We eat multiple times a day, so we should be eliminating regularly too. Children, for example, tend to have great digestion—because they eat simple, whole foods and stay active. As adults, we sometimes lose that balance.

So what does healthy digestion look like?

Regular, well-formed stools
No undigested food in your waste
A natural, medium-brown colour
A feeling of complete elimination
Transit time of around 24 hours

If you’re struggling with sluggish digestion, simple ways to help are to eat more dried figs, dates, and two ripe kiwis daily.
