Hello -
Everybody poops, but not every day. Some great new research by the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) suggests bowel movement frequency is closely linked to long-term health.
The study showed that age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) were significantly associated with bowel movement frequency. Specifically, younger people, women, and those with a lower BMI tended to have less frequent bowel movements.
The research also showed that the microbial composition of study participants' gut microbiomes was a telltale sign of bowel movement frequency.
Fiber-fermenting gut bacteria, often associated with health, appeared to thrive in a "Goldilocks zone" of bowel movement frequency, where people pooped between one to two times per day. (If you use the Tummy Fiber it's a slowly fermenting prebiotic soluble fiber, which will give you this benefit.)
However, bacteria associated with protein fermentation or the upper gastrointestinal tract tended to be enriched in those with constipation or diarrhea, respectively.
Similarly, several blood metabolites and plasma chemistries showed significant associations with bowel movement frequency, suggesting potential links between bowel health and chronic disease risk.
The study also explored associations between bowel movement frequency and anxiety and depression, indicating that mental health history is connected to how often one poops.
Overall, the research shows how bowel movement frequency can dramatically influence all body systems, and may be an important risk factor in the development of chronic diseases.
