Science of Poohlogy

Everything you eat needs to get digested. What is digested effectively is generally absorbed fully. What remains which is semi-digested or fully undigested travels through the lower intestine and upper large intestine colon. Here, some nutrients are absorbed. However, the biggest activity, the absorption of water from the semi-digested food action by trillions of gut bacteria that try to digest whatever is still digestible. Some of these bacteria also break down the toxic parts of this semi-digested food. From here, its moves to the rectum where it is stored. As sufficient volume builds up, you will have the urge to expel this through the anus. It is referring to your feces. It is sometimes crudely called “Shit” we prefer to call it “Pooh”. The Science of Poohlogy, is the study of all aspects of pooh. The feces that stay longer than necessary cause auto toxification (toxins get absorbed which irritate the colon, causing inflammation, and the production of unnecessary gases). A healthy gut is a healthy body. A sick gut leads to disease. It is long been accepted that “Death Begins In The Colon”.

In the traditional systems of healing like Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine, great attention is paid to what comes out as feces. By studying the feces, traditional feces could quickly identify the health of the body and the gut. This identification is based on simple characteristics like:


 * Shape
 * Softness
 * Colour
 * Smell
 * Ability to float on water
 * Ease of evacuation of the feces, regularity of bowel movement

In recent times, western medicine has pick on this and is now scientifically promoted as evidenced by the Bristol Stool Chart.
