Twenty-nine-year-oldRoslyn Kent(@plantsfirstnutrition) knows a thing or two about number two.
This is quite simply how long it takes food to move through your system from ingestion to elimination.
You shouldn’t have to be wiping, wiping, wiping.
Your gut should feel happy.
Your gut should feel calm, and you shouldn’t feel like you are incredibly bloated or distended.
Basically, a lot of our poops seem to fall into the “needs improvement” bucket.

Are you fully emptying?
Heres how to find out!
Transit time is between 12-18 hours 2.
A clean wipe 3.
You feel great after you poop!
She also suggests doing your business from a squatting rather than sitting position.
“Use aSquatty Pottyor stool to elevate your legs off the ground so theyre at a 45-degree angle.
This helps to properly align your eliminatory organs so youre in a squatting versus sitting position.
As humans, we’re meant to squat, not sit, when we have a bowel movement!”
But don’t overdo it on fiber all at once.
Fiber will always be fermented in the gut by our beneficial gut microbes.
The latter two are our soluble fiber-rich superstars that help microbiome health immensely.
The goal is to consume 30 or more unique plant foods in a week."
She also emphasizes the importance of getting enough exercise for a healthy gut.
“If youre not moving, your gut wont, either.
The more natural movement, the better.
But the volume is small and the consistency is often hard or dry.
