HAPPY LONG WEEKEND!!

YES!! It’s Friday!! Everyone who’s going away for the long weekend… HAVE FUN!

Since we’ve been discussing bacteria, digestion and gut health… I’ve saved this one for last:  What’s your POOP telling you??

There is actually a book with that name that explains in detail all about poops haha but the chart I found (below) is a little less detailed, therefore quicker to read and pretty funny.

Check it out:

“The list below explains why our poops look they way they do according to the chart:

1. Black and “Tarry” Poops– These poops look very dark and almost like tar. They are a result of too many  toxins in your body. These toxins come from foods but also from household cleaners, aluminum cookware, microwave ovens, furniture polish, tobacco smoke, laundry detergents, synthetic carpet, mothballs, dryer sheets, and several other common household items. You want to buy as many “organic” or “natural” cleaners as possible. You can find safer alternatives at stores like Trader Joes and Whole Foods. Fred Meyer has a great organic section as well. Before you tell me it is too expensive consider the average American spends $150 a month on fast food and eating out. This is your health.

2. Fatty Poops– These poops can come from too much grease and fat in the diet. This can also occur if you are   gluten intolerant or have a hard time digesting fats.

3. Pile of mush Poops– This is just what it says. A pile of mush in the toilet bowl. This is commonly found in “bodybuilder” type athletes that are taking in too much protein or too much of a liquid diet.

4. Rabbit Poops– This poop looks like little balls of poop pressed together, like rabbit poops. It can come from dehydration and/or too many processed foods.

5. “Diahrella”– Diarrhea is caused by many things that include food allergies, a virus, or eating foods that upset your digestive system. It’s common for a healthy adult to have diarrhea 2-3 times a year. More than that would suggest you might have some digestion issues.

6. Food Poops– This is when you see pieces of undigested food in your poops. This can occur if your hydrochloric acid levels are low or if you are not chewing your food enough. Remember you should drink your food and chew your drink. Always chew food until it is almost liquefied and every time you take a drink, chomp like you are chewing .

7. The poopy police– This is the ideal poop. You want a 6-8 inch “brown banana” in the toilet. This is the sign of a healthy digestive system.”

Many children and adults in our modern times are suffering from mental and physical problems such as autism, attention deficit and hyperactivity, dyslexia, dyspraxia, depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating disorders and even schizophrenia.

It’s becoming more and more common to see a family member or somebody that you know going through something like that.

More and more studies have been showing that there is a connection between the way your digestive system functions and the brain! This is called GUT AND PSYCHOLOGY SYNDROME. The person’s body is so full of toxins that the brain is affected by it and can’t work as well anymore causing some kind of damage in other areas.

DIET!! Eating the right foods is the first thing to do as a treatment detoxifying the body and allowing the brain to readjust itself and work properly.

“Your patient needs to carry on completely avoiding starches and sugar for two years at least. It means avoiding all grains, sugar, potatoes, parsnips, yams, sweet potato and anything made out of them. The flour in your cooking and baking can be replaced with ground almonds (or any other nuts or sunflower or pumpkin seeds ground into flour). In about 1 – 1.5 years you may be able to introduce new potatoes, fermented buckwheat, millet and quinoa, starting from very small amounts and observing any reaction. Wheat, sugar, processed foods and all additives will have to be out of the diet for much longer…

…The best foods for the GAPS person are eggs, meats and fish (bought fresh or frozen, not smoked or canned, and cooked at home), shellfish, fresh vegetables and fruit, nuts and seeds, garlic and olive oil.” (GAPS DIET) http://www.gaps.me/preview/?page_id=28

Does that sounds familiar to you?? It’s pretty much Paleo dieting isn’t it?

My question here is why would you introduce those kind of foods again knowing that it can cause that kind of damage? Especially if you have a history of these challenges, wouldn’t you rather know you’ll never have it again if it only depends on how you eat?

It seems pretty simple to me… I’ve been fascinated with this subject since I was a pre-school teacher back home and it never ceases to amaze me the effects that lifestyle and diet have on our bodies.

THURSDAY

Today is our last day of the Hang Squat Cleans!!

Hope you all have made improvements and are setting a new PR today!

Last week we did 1 rep max snatch and I got the 105lbs I didn’t at Regionals and it felt easy! I’m pretty sure that the HSC series has a role there, I’m definitely faster under the bar!

TECH: HANG SQUAT CLEAN

WOD: 

Tabata Run (20sec work, 10sec off x 8)
