How often is healthy? Stool movement and its connection to diseases!

Human digestion is a complex process, and how often we go to the toilet is an important indicator of our health. According to the AOK, a stool frequency of three times a day to three times a week is considered normal. But what does this frequency say about our health?

Latest knowledge of a study published in the journal "Cell Reports Medicine", light on the connection between the frequency of bowel movements and chronic diseases such as dementia. The researchers of the "Institute of Systems Biology" (ISB) from Seattle examined the health data of over 1,400 healthy adults as well as their lifestyle and microbial data.

Free bowel movements and chronic diseases

In earlier studies, it has already been found that the frequency of bowel movements has a significant influence on the microbioma of the intestine. Johannes Johnson-Martínez, the main author of the current study, explains that over time when the chair remains in the intestine, the intestinal microbes access available fiber, which ultimately leads to harmful fermentation of proteins. This fermentation can produce toxic substances that get into the bloodstream and thus endanger health.

The discovery that there is an insufficient stool frequency in connection with chronic kidney diseases and dementia is particularly worrying. According to Johnson-Martínez, the accumulation of pollutants in the chair can even result in organ damage. More frequent bowel movements could not only improve well -being, but also prevent serious health problems.

Optimal stool frequency through healthy habits

The researchers recommend that a bowel movement frequency of once or twice a day is considered optimal. This frequency is typically a sign of a healthy lifestyle, which is characterized by a high -fiber diet, sufficient fluid intake and regular physical activity. In this regard, it is important to pay attention to your own diet and movement in order to support the health of the intestine and the entire body.

These findings underline the importance of a conscious lifestyle that aims at prevention. People who pay attention to a healthy diet and move regularly not only have fewer health problems, but also benefit from a well -functioning digestive system.
