MYTH #3: YOU SHOULD POOP ONCE A DAY
Actually, going number two anywhere from three times a day to three times a week meets the range of what’s considered regular. “How often you poop comes down to your personal diet habits: how much fluid, fiber, and overall food you take in,” says Phillips. “Most people go once a day, but some people who are perfectly healthy go more often or less.” Be concerned with your poop habits only if you’re suddenly going a lot more or less, your bowel movements are accompanied by pain or blood, or the consistency is much looser or a lot harder than usual.
