New Study Links Bowel Movement Frequency to Long-Term Health

Research reveals that pooping once or twice a day is optimal for reducing chronic disease risks.

  • Study analyzed data from over 1,400 healthy adults to find correlations between bowel movement frequency and health.
  • Optimal bowel movement frequency supports a beneficial gut microbiome and reduces harmful toxin production.
  • Constipation is linked to increased kidney-damaging toxins, while diarrhea is associated with liver damage.
  • Younger individuals, women, and those with lower BMI tend to have less frequent bowel movements.
  • Diet rich in fiber, adequate hydration, and regular exercise are key factors in maintaining optimal bowel movement frequency.
