a year agoI am a believer in supporting a healthy gut microbiome. I eat fermented foods, and up until I started chemotherapy, I took a probiotic supplement. I ran across this article 👇 that explains why pooping every day is important. Turns out that it reduces the buildup of toxins in your system. Happy reading. https://www.sciencealert.com/your-poop-schedule-says-a-lot-about-your-overall-health-study-discovers
