Why the 7-Second Poop Ritual Works?
But how does this routine work? How does it affect your stool? Most people pass their stool in the morning as they are getting ready to start their day. However, this is also the time when our bodies are still sleepy.
Some processes in our body haven’t started yet, and by moving around, we stimulate our metabolism. As a result, we feel the urge to defecate. These movements also stimulate our stomach muscles and bowels. As we bend and rise up, our bowels also start to move, prompting us to pass the stool.
Finally, early-morning exercises help produce endorphins and dopamines while also reducing the levels of stress hormones. Constipation can be caused by stress, and by releasing your body from that stress, you might even release your bowel movements.
Keep in mind that there are no guarantees that this ritual will help you. You still might need to try some other tricks to stimulate your bowel movement.
After all, there is constipation is often caused by some other issues, and you need to address those issues for a permanent solution. Still, this 7-second morning ritual can help in the short term, and it doesn’t require much of your time and effort anyway.
Some Other Routines That Might Prevent Constipation
Apart from trying out this 7-second morning ritual, you can also try several other things to help you prevent constipation:
- Eat foods rich in fiber because such foods make your stool easier to pass.
- Drink enough water to soften your stool.
- Exercise regularly to increase the muscle activity in your intestines.
- Avoid foods that are making you constipated – refined sugars, fatty foods, etc.
- Chew properly and slowly so that your food gets digested and broken down more easily.
- When you need to pass the stool, don’t hold it in unless you have no other option.
- Try to pass the stool at the same time every day.
- Use probiotics: eat yogurt, kefir, and other fermented foods that contain good bacteria. If needed, you can also buy probiotic capsules in the pharmacy.
- Reduce your stress levels because stress can cause constipation.
Dr Gina Sam and Emma
Dr Gina Sam has also developed a daily digestive supplement, “Emma.” According to her websites (https://emmarelief.com/ and https://resetyourgut.com/), this supplement selectively destroys bad bacteria in your small intestine while strengthening the good bacteria in your large intestine.
This way, Emma increases the health of your gut, making your bowel movements more regular and your stomach less bloated. As a result, Emma also helps eliminate constipation and bloating.
However, according to some user eating experience, this supplement isn’t working for everyone. You can try Emma, but there are no guarantees that it will actually help you. If you still decide to give it a chance, make sure to consult your physician first.
