5 Myths about pooping you must know!

Since childhood days, poop has been a notorious topic to talk about. Usually, people feel disgusted talking about it, or may be shy! The reason behind is some myths and a lot of ignorance about the digestion and ultimately – the poop.

 

How quickly people can disown shit!

It’s ironical!!

 

So, here we are debunking some myths about pooping that you would have come across at some point in your life. Starting from its color to its smell and everything around – today you know the truth of pooping!

 

Myth 1: Brown-colored poop is a sign of good health

It is not like just brown poop is the healthy poop. The color of poop may change because of a variety of reasons. At the same time, there could be problems prevailing in your body but still the color remains unchanged! So, considering color as a diagnosing factor for health issues is not that straight.

It could be yellow, tan, or green and still you are healthy! Usually the unusual color occur due to medication or food. But the color may indicate a problem such as bleeding (red or black), liver problems (white or gray), or diarrhoea (green).

Myth 2: Feeling giddy after pooping is unusual

Feeling “giddy” means feeling your head spinning about or simply dizzy! Sometimes people feel more energetic or in good mood after pooping and there is science behind it. Taking a dump may stimulate the Vagus nerve in the brain which results in a drop in your heart rate and BP.

So yes! Pooping can be a truly and scientifically proven relaxing experience. Especially when you combine it with attractive washroom interior and your favourite aroma. 

 

Myth 3: The poop floats because of ‘fats’ inside it

The logic says that ‘fats’ are lighter than water and that’s why the poop floats when you drop it like it HOT! But the actual reason is different. Firstly, it depends on the amount of fibre which decides how dense it would be. Secondly, the fats are mostly digested and absorbed by now.

The actual reason is – GAS! As the food is digested in lower intestine, a lot of gas emerges and some of it is trapped in the poop. This makes it less dense and it is more likely to float. It is perfectly normal and there is nothing unusual at all.

Except one thing, the floating ones release the bad odour directly in the air! You need a blocking mechanism if they float in your toilet!

 

Myth 4: Normal and healthy people do not ‘pass gas’
Well, sometime we wonder if certain person would be ever ‘farting’ at all? But, be prepared with your nose closed!! Everybody ‘pass gas’ every now and then. The combined natural tally is about 14 burps or farts a day. Gasses may occur as a digestion by-product or because of the food or carbonated cold drinks. Sometimes, people are lactose intolerant or they have another gastrointestinal disorder which result in ‘passing gas’ more than usual!

Myth 5: Poop doesn’t smell bad if you have healthy diet

Poop is a crazy mixture of all sorts of nasty things! This includes microbes, salts, digestive juices, undigested foods, gas and so many other things. In a way, nature indicates everyone to stay away, with the bad smell. So, smelly poop is as normal as it could get.

If you have a healthy diet, your body will absorb all the good stuff and ultimately, the poop will be made of BAD STUFF! If you want to change the smell with diet, NOT POSSIBLE!
