What The CHEK Institute Says About
Your Diet & The Deuce

While I am a big fan of preventative care and continually helping clients to improve the resiliency of their mind, gut and immune system, the truth is, no one is 100% immune all the time from a digestive illness or life’s inevitable ups and downs.

With that in mind, it may be useful for you to know what’s going on inside your body for when the not so proverbial sh*t hits the fan.

Check out what the ‘CHEK Institute’ has to say about how to recognise symptoms of dehydration, poor digestion, toxicity and digestive stress.

What A Healthy Bowel Looks Like

For a healthy bowel movement to qualify as healthy, it must be:

  • Well-shaped and consistent in colour
  • Pass easily and pleasurably
  • Be light brown in colour
  • Smell natural, almost earthy-not foul
  • Float, yet doesn’t require multiple attempts to flush

How To Recognise An Irregular Or Dysfunctional Elimination System

While you’re probably not a big fan of getting familiar with your elimination system, there is a lot you can learn from your digestion through self-examination. Awareness of the wide variety of the following dysfunctions may help ease symptoms for when and if they do arise.

  • Undigested food particles – is a sign of food intolerance or an inflammatory disorder of the digestive tract.
  • Diarrhoea – the body’s attempt to detoxify the body. If experienced regularly, it may be time to evaluate your diet.
  • Rabbit or sheep-looking in appearance – dehydration or peristalsis of the colon.
  • Unusually strong, unpleasant odour that may leave you feeling ‘weak at the knees’ – overly exposed to processed foods, a toxic environment, medical drugs or post anaesthesia. Take steps to detoxify your body.
