The past few days I have genuinely considered getting a colon cleanse/flush because of nearly 10 years worth of terribly irregular bowel movements, trauma and terrible diet(I eat atleast twice a day most days) which sometimes means days without going toilet. This video is absolutely a sign for me to go along with it. Thanks Ted Talk.

I never realized how many signals the body can send through something as simple as poop! This video really opened my eyes to details I always ignored. The shape, the color, even whether it sinks or floats everything means something. Thank you for turning such a taboo topic into something educational and easy to understand!

Also it would be good to drink 2-3 glasses of water after consuming a meal. It really helps create extra physical energy and makes going Number 2 easy or easier. But it may cause you to use the bathroom 2 or 3 times after you eat a meal because it makes your body absorb stuff and create waste faster.

So you're telling me I’ll produce 6 SUVs worth of poop in my lifetime and it still won’t come with a check engine light when something’s wrong Honestly, this makes me want to pay way more attention to my daily diagnostics. ’ Anyone else surprised by how much color and texture can reveal

When the first shrek movie came out with Shrek themed pizza Lunchables. It basically the usual pizza ones but with food coloring powder to mix with the sauce and in this case green. I took a dump later that day and my poo was bright green like kryptonite. lol

From color to consistency, your poop is like a daily health report and this video made it surprisingly fascinating! Huge thanks to Hannibal Person for turning gut health into something we can all understand (and laugh about a little.

Poop can tell you quite a lot,
If you're healthy or you're not.
Color, shape, or if it floats.
These are all some telling notes.
Check the bowl before you flush,
Your gut might need a gentle hush!

Regarding blood: the redder it is, the further in the tract it comes from (not usually super dangerous or urgent. Blacker blood comes from earlier parts in the digestive track and is usually a cause for concern.

I would normally 4 cups of water mixed with salt and sugar after suffering diarrhea or seeing my more liquidity
I believe it restores minerals back in my intestines and I feel better after a couple hours

As someone who has a pet pigeon, I am very used to tracking poop. This is a good habit to form for all.
Pet owners, and your own personal poo. It tells a story.

0: 08 - This statistic is bad science because it leaves out the time-span. That many kilograms PER WHAT Is it in one year Or, the person's entire lifetime

The whole animation can be used for a video on the effect of icecream on our stomach without mentioning poop at all. That's really awesome

I once ate so much spinach salad that my poop turned green. I was baffled and a little worried until I remembered what I'd eaten the day before.

First time I ate Dragon Fruit, I nearly had a heart attack next time I pooped. It looks like you're having a full-body hemorrhage!
