While paying attention to your stools may seem surprising, it actually allows you to take the necessary steps to regain optimal digestive comfort because they are a real indicator of health. Stools are the residue of our digestion, and depending on their color, appearance, and frequency of evacuation, it is possible to know if we are digesting poorly, if the liver is functioning poorly, if we are eating too much fat, not enough fiber, if we are not drinking enough, etc. There is a good diagnostic tool to find out about the state of your intestines and the composition of your diet. This is the Bristol scale, which lists the different aspects that your stools can take. The infographic in the link below is inspired by it:
Whether it's to promote optimal intestinal comfort or to properly nourish your intestines, paying attention to the proper functioning of your intestinal transit is essential!
To do this, a few dietary rules are required:
- A healthy diet should be as raw as possible. What does that mean? Currently, due to the widespread industrialization of our food, we are finding more and more pesticides, endocrine disruptors, and toxins in our food, and fewer and fewer good-quality nutrients. By avoiding ultra-processed foods and reconnecting with raw foods, we can significantly increase our intake of micronutrients that are beneficial to the body and avoid overloading our liver with toxins.
- Fiber and water intake should not be neglected. Indeed, these two factors strongly influence intestinal transit and the composition of stools. Fiber, undigested by the body, has the particularity of swelling upon contact with water. Thus, stools are more hydrated and voluminous when consumed in sufficient quantities, which accelerates transit, limits stomach aches and gives a better appearance to stools. The recommendations are 25-30 g per day for fiber and 1.5-2 L of water per day.
- Not all fats are created equal! The fats that are least beneficial to our bodies are the most difficult to digest; they can slow down transit and cause discomfort. So be careful with trans fats and saturated fatty acids, whose consumption should be monitored.
