Everyone’s toilet habits are different. Discomforts such as constipation and diarrhea about the toilet can change your normal routine. Some people go to the toilet very often, while others may not go out for days. According to studies, abnormal toilet habits can be a symptom of diseases. Scientists have discovered that pooping frequently throughout the day is an indication of several serious health problems. If you have such conditions, you need to see a doctor to protect yourself from diseases.
IF YOU DO TOO MUCH, YOUR RISK OF A HEART ATTACK IS HIGH
Those who experience more than one bowel movement per day are more likely to have a heart attack, develop type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease.
DOING LESS IS ALSO CONNECTED TO DISEASES
Conversely, pooping less than once a day is also an indication of major heart problems.
Experts have found that pooping less than three times a week is linked to a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease.
IT IS THE HEALTHIEST TO DO IT ONCE A DAY
Research from Peking University shows that just one poop a day is actually the healthiest for you. Previous research has found a link between fewer bowel movements, often referred to as constipation, and serious heart conditions. The authors of the new study, however, were unable to say why heart problems are a problem for those who poop a lot.
BE AWARE OF POTENTIAL RISKS
The researchers added that people with abnormal bowel movements “should consider the possibility of undiagnosed disease and be aware of the potential future risks of various health conditions.” The study involved monitoring the bowel movements of nearly 500,000 healthy people aged 30 to 79 over the course of ten years. The researchers then examined the link between bowel movement frequency and diseases that occur outside the digestive tract. However, it’s worth bearing in mind that the NHS says normal bowel habits vary from person to person.
