My elementary school teacher told us once that Americans only poop once a week. The climate is colder in North America, so their intestines pack the poop together very densely such that they only need to poop once a week. She said you’d be sent to the doctor if you poop daily in America.

Is this true?

    Elimination diet starting with low fodmap foods. Keep a food journal as well. Very effective when paired with an exercise routine as you’ll get a good idea of what foods are bogging you down vs finding ‘clean’ foods.

    Developing stamina and endurance with routine cardio is probably the best thing for day to day energy levels. I suggest trying for a solid hour of sustained cardio, whether that’s walking, cycling, running, rowing, or gym equipment like a cross trainer… And remember all it takes is a week off to start losing stamina, so it really needs commitment and consistency.

    Just in general digestive-wise, you may benefit from a postprandial walk. Sometimes called a fart walk. XD
