Everybody Poops - What Your Poop May Be Trying to Tell You
I have to admit up front, this is going to be the crappiest article I've ever written.
You see, as I was walking my dogs Marty and Rosie the other day, it occurred to me that poop plays a huge role in my life. I'm not afraid to admit it. I pick up after my dogs every day, I scoop my cat's litter box every day (OK, not EVERY day, but it certainly feels that way), and I talk with my clients about their bowel movements. In fact, while I was in India this past summer, poop was actually the number one topic of conversation between my colleagues and me, as we compared notes on who had diarrhea and who was still healthy. I even remained on "poop watch," for several weeks after my return to the States, making sure that everything was OK (and thankfully, it was!)
So, if you are a pet owner, parent, health care professional, or world traveler, you probably know what I mean!
But many people don't get to talk about poop as much as I do. I know this because when I ask people about their poop, I often get blank stares and uncomfortable looks. So, I let's talk about all of the questions that people want answered but are usually afraid to ask. After all, your poop is an important indicator of your overall health!
What is Poop?
Have you ever wondered what poop actually is? About 75% of your average poop is water, although this will vary depending on the person. Water is absorbed out of fecal material as it passes through the large intestine, so the longer you take to "go," the drier your poop will be.
The remaining 25% is comprised of dead bacteria that helped us digest our food, living bacteria, protein, undigested food residue (also known as fiber), waste material from food, cellular linings, fats, cholesterol, salts, protein, and substances released from the liver and the intestines (such as mucus).
What Makes a Healthy Poop?
Your feces are a clear indicator of the health of your gastrointestinal tract. Dr. Mehmet Oz says, "At the end of the day you can analyze your body really effectively by looking at what comes out of your body."
So what should you look for? A healthy poop will be:
Golden brown, which is due to pigments formed by the bacteria in the gut and bile from the liver. You want to make sure the color is normal because that tells you a lot about what's going on in your gastrointestinal tract (more on color below).
Formed into one long shape. Dr. Michael Levitt, an Australian colorectal surgeon who has written a book called The Bowel Book, says that the healthy human stool resembles the shape and consistency (although not the same color) of an unripe banana. Dr. Oz says " You don't want [pieces]." Some experts disagree, saying they don't have to be well- formed. Patrick Donovan, N.D., a naturopath in Seattle, WA says "Stools don't have to be well- formed logs. They can disperse in the toilet water; they can break down."
Nearly odorless.
About 1 to 2 inches in diameter and 18 inches long.
What About Other Colors?
Sometimes we don't see that "golden guru," and are faced with something else instead. Here's some insight into what those other colors might mean.
Black: Feces can be black if dried blood is present in it from internal bleeding in the upper digestive tract. See a doctor if this is the case.
Very Dark Brown: Drinking wine the night before may result in dark brown poop. This could also be the result of eating too much salt, or not enough vegetables.
Yellow: One condition that can cause yellow poop is an infection known as giardia, a dangerous infection that can spread to others. Another cause of yellow poop may be a condition known as Gilbert's syndrome. See your doctor if you are consistently seeing yellow poop.
Green: Babies often have green poop when they are given food for the first time. Children may have green or blue poop from certain illnesses or from ingesting food colorings. Adults may also have green poop if they eat large amounts of green, leafy vegetables or if they eat large amounts of foods with green food coloring. Light green poop may indicate excessive sugar in the diet. Green feces can also occur with diarrhea if bile salts pass through the intestine unchanged. Again, see a doctor if you are concerned!
White/pale: Feces can appear white or pale after drinking barium sulfate, which is often given to patients getting an X-ray of the digestive tract. A white or pale stool may also be an indication of problems with the gallbladder or liver.
Red: Bright red in the feces may be indicative of active bleeding, possibly the result of hemorrhoids. A magenta color may result form eating intense red food coloring, or red foods such as beets.
How Often Should I Poop?
Ah - the big question! Experts disagree on how often a person should poop. The National Institute for Diabetes, Kidney, and Digestive Diseases says three times a week is normal and healthy for some people. According to Ayurveda, an ancient Indian healing system, once a day is ideal. Other experts advocate once or twice a day, while still others say a person should have a bowel movement within two to three hours of a major meal- -or two to three times a day. So you can see that it really depends on who you talk to. My personal opinion is that you above all want to be regular in your pooping schedule, and that one poop a day is ideal.
When someone poops four times a day or more and the poop has a liquid consistency, this is referred to as diarrhea. When someone poops less than two or three days a week and the poop is hard, dry, and difficult to pass, this is known as constipation.
What's the Deal with Corn?
It's funny, so it's ok to laugh. But most people I know have experienced it and they ask why it is that when you eat corn, the next time you poop there it is again! There are a couple of reasons for this. One is that most of us do not thoroughly chew our food. Another interesting tidbit I've learned that there is an outer coating on corn that is made up of indigestible cellulose. This outer coating slips off the inner kernel and, since it's indigestible, passes through the gut intact. It then emerges looking like a whole kernel, even though it's just the outer skin. The inside of the kernel is starchy and digestible, and that is the part that we succeed in chewing and digesting.
Well, hopefully you know now a lot more about this important topic. And that's the scoop on poop!

A Condom Size Chart Will Help You Get The Most in Pleasure And Protection
Choosing a condom that is the right size for your penis is the best way to get maximum pleasure and protection during sex. There are a variety of condom sizes. The average condom is 7.5 inches long, 2 inches wide at the shaft and a little more than 2 inches wide at the head.
There are 3 reasons to buy a condom other than an average sized condom.
1. Average sized condoms have a tendency to slip off during intercourse. In this case, buy narrower condoms.
2. Average sized condoms are too tight in the shaft. For this problem, buy wider condoms that are less constrictive and will have less tendency to break.
3. Average sized condoms are too tight in the head. To address this, buy condoms with more headroom.
Condom length is not much of an issue as condoms generally stretch very well along the length without risk of breaking.. You can find condoms over 8 inches long if you are exceptionally large. If you are smaller than the 7.5 inch average length, do not worry as most men are. In fact, studies show the average penis size is between 5 and 6 inches long as measured along the top from the base to the head.
If the condom is too long, you just do not unroll the condom all the way. Condoms that are too long should not slip off. Condoms that are too wide do tend to slip off, and that is why it is more important to get the width correct.
Use the condom size chart below to determine which of the variety of condom sizes you need.
Narrow condoms: 1.75 inches wide.
Average condoms: 2 inches wide.
Large condoms: More than 2 inches wide.
Extra large condoms: More than 2.5 inches wide at the head and more than 2 inches wide at the shaft.

Your probably a fan of all RL shirts not just the famous Polo label. I have been a fan for years and I usually feel my best when donning Ralph Lauren shirts. But, you can find RL shirts online and you do not have to pay the outrageous prices that department stores charge. Have you been in the major department stores lately? Holy cow, they are charging an arm and a leg, so no need to buy there. It's a slap in our face when they try to swindle a little extra cash from out wallets.
