Constant irregular bowel movements isn’t a good thing. Good gut health maintains a healthy immune system. Constant constipation can lead to a number of health issues including cognitive decline and dementia.

Any evidence, apart from some you tube crap?

I was recently blocked up for a few days (rare for me) and I read that as few as 3 bms weekly is still not technically constipation.

I recently added something subtle that is working for me. A very small amount (1/2 a teaspoon) of psylium powder with breakfast and water. A typical starter dose is a teaspoon so that's a really small dose. For me 1/2 is enough. I also have been eating a few prunes with dinner for years.

Psylium is great, as well as Unison enemas from 7/11

Your system needs at least 10 000 steps a day or something equal to be fit. Less movements more problems internal and external

You walking the stairs, or just the floors, just walking flat floors doesn't maintain your needs for efficient work out. Walking terrain, stairs and beaches gives you necessarily work out, not shopping mall floors 😉

 

Buy a skierg machine, rowing machine or walk uphill on a treadmill that will do it, or all three even better. 

 

Walking stairs in your condominium as well first thing in the morning

You are falling for the Sony advertising myth where they made that figure up!

Origins of the 10,000 Steps Goal
The recommendation to walk 10,000 steps a day originated from a marketing campaign in Japan in the 1960s for a pedometer called "manpo-kei," which translates to "10,000 steps meter." Although this number was not based on scientific research, it has since become a widely accepted target for promoting physical activity.

All Im saying is time spent equally to 10 000 steps outdoor, is a good start for most who do not exercise. I promise you if you not moving at all, you will gain some benefits from doing so. But more variety using your body by swimming and diverse exercises and use of macines will improve your intestines health and also your bowl duties. 

 

It all about daily discipline and structure, also when it comes to eating and drinking habits. Just walking 10k steps in a shopping mall, I agree have no use at all, except you do something to waste time. 

 

A normal outdoor walk will give you an hearth rate between 120 - 130 bpm which is ideal

Been regular as clockwork my entire life. Wake up, have a big mug of hot coffee, 20 minutes later I'm sat on the throne doing my thing. Always once a day in the morning, occasionally the need for another dump in the evening.

Will just add a ai quic search to my previously reply. It is up to you to preserve your health, and nobody else, so what you think are best for you, just do it. It doesn’t involve me or anybody else, but you solely. 

 

Walking 10,000 steps a day can positively impact bowel movements by improving digestion and reducing the risk of constipation. Regular physical activity, like walking, helps to stimulate the muscles in the digestive tract, aiding in the movement of food and waste through the system

 

AI-oversikt

Walking 10,000 steps a day is a popular fitness goal, and while it wasn't initially based on scientific evidence, it has been shown to have numerous health benefits. Studies indicate that accumulating this number of steps can improve physical and mental well-being, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and even boost cognitive function. 

Here's what science says about the benefits of walking 10,000 steps a day:

Improved Physical Health:

Weight Management: Walking 10,000 steps can contribute to weight loss and prevent weight regain, especially when combined with a modest reduction in calorie intake. 

Cardiovascular Health: It can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. 

Bone Health: Weight-bearing activities like walking can strengthen bones and increase bone density. 

Reduced Risk of Chronic Diseases: Studies show that walking 10,000 steps can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and other chronic conditions. 

Improved Sleep: Individuals who walk 10,000 steps a day often report falling asleep faster, sleeping longer, and experiencing better sleep quality. 

Enhanced Mental Well-being:

Reduced Anxiety and Depression: Studies have shown that walking 10,000 steps can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. 

Improved Mood: Walking can elevate mood, reduce stress, and promote a sense of well-being. 

Enhanced Cognitive Function: Research suggests that walking 10,000 steps may slow down cognitive decline and reduce brain volume loss, particularly in individuals at high risk. 

Beyond the Numbers:

It's a Great Starting Point: While 10,000 steps is a common goal, the benefits of walking start even with smaller increases in daily step counts. 

Walking Pace Matters: Walking at a faster pace can further enhance the health benefits. 

Accessibility and Convenience: Walking is a low-impact activity that can be done anywhere, anytime, and doesn't require special equipment. 

Important Note: The original 10,000-step goal was popularized as a marketing strategy for pedometers in Japan. However, subsequent research has supported the numerous health benefits associated with walking 10,000 steps a day and even smaller increases in daily step counts

The Japanese also concluded that alternate 3 minutes slow then fast walking helps.  Also I saw somewhere that 8,000 steps for the over 60s is sufficient. Consistency is more effective than length. (She cried. lol)

I'm a 20k+ step guy that still doesn't poop on even a remotely regular schedule.  It is hard to keep things in balance here because of the heat.  Mineral imbalances can create projectile diarrhea and also the type of poops that cause dizziness because of the strain.

 

My solution  bought bags of each electrolyte (fertilizer company but  upgraded to food grade ) in powder form and make my own drinks throughout the day depending on my probably faulty calcs of my needs.   I'm on my longest poop streak ever at 36 days.  None of them are wimpy dumps and many take two flushes.
