The art of making a beautiful poo. Here how to master it!

There are few things that can make you feel better than a satisfactory BM early in the morning. You feel lighter, happier and more energized for the day.

However, not all poo is equal.

Here are a few signs your poo and your health can be improved:

You don’t go to the bathroom in the morning before breakfast
You can’t go unless you pour a mug of caffeinated beverage down the drains
You go with dry little pellets and it’s not very satisfactory
You make an unformed mush with pieces or food and mucous in it
Your poo stinks really badly
You still feel that there is stuff left inside even after you go
It burns, itches, or feels irritated

On the other hand, here are some sings of a good poo:

It comes out easy and quickly
The smell is not too strong
It looks like a nicely formed banana
You feel amazing after you do it!

So did you have a nice poo this morning?

It is a bad habit that I am still working on correcting. When I eat ton fast my belly reacts even to the healthiest dishes. My solution is to eat mostly liquids when in a rush. Green soups are most frequent choice. What is dragging you down the most?

This brings us to the most important point: create your internal food map. Your body is unique. Generalizations don’t work. You have to take responsibility for figuring out what your body likes and doesn’t like. Nothing helps with this more than a food diary. I recommend staying with something similar to this.
