It’s Continence Awareness Week

What is normal?

Most people pass a bowel action on most days. This may vary from person to person. Most people should spend less than 5 minutes in the toilet. The motion should be easy to pass, you should not need to strain. The stool should be soft, formed and smooth and you should feel empty when you are finished. You should be able to get to the toilet in time to pass your motion.

How can I help myself?

Drink 6-8 glasses of fluid every day - mostly water. Have 25-35 grams of fibre every day - 10-12 serves of fibre every day; that is 2-3 fruit serves, 4-5 serves of vegetable or salad, 2-3 serves of grain and cereal, and a serve of nuts or legumes. Take exercise every day, walking or any other aerobic activity helps the bowel to empty.

What if ignore this advice?

Chronic constipation is the worst and most common crime against life and mankind--a crime unconsciously committed, and one whose full enormity is not yet fully realized. It stands accused of being one of the principal causative factors of all physical and mental diseases. I know as a fact, from my practical experience with thousands of chronically diseased, that the life of man, and the extent of his mental and spiritual capabilities are largely influenced by the condition of the alimentary tract.
