Is foot long poop healthy?

Your stool's length should conform to the segment lengths of a clean and healthy colon. Each of the colon's three distinct anatomical segments—ascending, transverse, descending—is about a foot long. Passed stool tends to break at these segment junctures. So your stool should be at least 1 foot long.

After eating 100 % raw foods for more than 10 years now, I believe I have a perfectly working digestive system. Here I’m going to tell you about the ideal bowel movement. I am calling it an “ideal” movement since in my research, I found that there is simply no consensus about what is “normal.” There are levels of normal, and every person is going to have different level.

The Digestive Process

Your digestive system breaks down food so it can be absorbed into the bloodstream and delivered to the various parts of your body. A bowel movement, properly considered, actually starts with your first bite. When you swallow your food, it goes down the esophagus and into your stomach. Here your food churns around for two to four hours until it is broken down into a soupy mush called chyme. The chyme is then gradually squeezed out of the stomach and through a long, coiled tube—the small intestine. Here the mashed food that you’ve eaten gets absorbed into the bloodstream and the remainder passes on into the large intestine. The leftover waste—remnants of the food that your body can't use—goes on to the large intestine. In the colon, the body gets a last chance to absorb water and some minerals into the blood. Then the leftovers are combined in your colon, packed together, and partially dehydrated. As water leaves the waste product, what’s left gets harder and harder as it keeps moving along, until it becomes a solid. What remains—our feces—consists of water, indigestible fiber, undigested food (such as small seeds), sloughed-off dead cells, living and dead bacteria, intestinal secretions, and bile.

How to Determine if Your Stool is Healthy?

If you eat raw foods, it’s about 24 hours after swallowing your first bite that feces are pushed out of the body. To determine whether your bowel movement is healthy, we look at its color, smell, and the difficulty of evacuation and degree of hardness. Worn-out red blood cells in bile give human excrement its distinctive brown color. Healthy stool should be medium to light brown. It should be well formed, cylindrical, fairly bulky, somewhat textured and easy to pass. And it shouldn't smell—much. At the very least, you should find no strong, pungent odor. The stool is one, long smooth evacuation if the colon is not spastic, impacted, constipated or dehydrated. Each bowel movement should be in one piece, about the shape of a well-formed log, tapered at the end. Some websites say it should be of the size of a banana. From my experience, the product of a good, cleansing bowel movement is much longer, almost as long as two bananas end by end. This makes perfect sense because the stool should be an exact replica of the internal space of your colon.

What is a good BMI for my age?

between 18.5 and 24.9 BMI ranges below 18.5 – you're in the underweight range. between 18.5 and 24.9 – you're in the healthy weight range. between 25 and 29.9 – you're in the overweight range. 30 or over – you're in the obese range.

nhs.uk - What is the body mass index (BMI)? - NHS

The body mass index (BMI) is a measure that uses your height and weight to work out if your weight is healthy. The BMI calculation divides an adult's weight in kilograms by their height in metres squared. For example, A BMI of 25 means 25kg/m2. BMI ranges For most adults, an ideal BMI is in the 18.5 to 24.9 range. For children and young people aged 2 to 18, the BMI calculation takes into account age and gender as well as height and weight. If your BMI is: below 18.5 – you're in the underweight range

between 18.5 and 24.9 – you're in the healthy weight range

between 25 and 29.9 – you're in the overweight range

30 or over – you're in the obese range If you want to calculate your BMI, you can use the healthy weight calculator. Accuracy of BMI BMI takes into account natural variations in body shape, giving a healthy weight range for a particular height. As well as measuring your BMI, healthcare professionals may take other factors into account when assessing if you're a healthy weight. Muscle is much denser than fat, so very muscular people, such as heavyweight boxers, weight trainers and athletes, may be a healthy weight even though their BMI is classed as obese. Your ethnic group can also affect your risk of some health conditions. For example, adults of South Asian origin may have a higher risk of some health problems, such as diabetes, with a BMI of 23, which is usually considered healthy. You should not use BMI as a measure if you're pregnant. Get advice from your midwife or GP if you're concerned about your weight.
