Dr Oz: Perfect Poop Diet Foods
Dr. Oz has covered nearly every awkward question you could imagine on his show today, That’s Awkward: Questions you would never ask your Doctor. He has talked about poop and pee and the importance of looking before you flush. He also shared how you might know you have an allergy to Nickel as well as a solution for breast sweat. The most awkward question may have come from a woman who wanted to ask Dr. Oz about where her farts come from and I am not talking about her bottom. If you ever wished you could ask a question without feeling nervous or embarrassed, this has been the show for you because Doctor Oz openly answered and talked about some of the most uncomfortable topics around.
Dr. Oz says people who have Constipation should eat foods high in Magnesium like Bananas and Pumpkin Seeds because it will help to loosen the intestines.
Dr Oz: Pumpkin Seeds & Bananas Prevent Constipation
Now that Dr. Oz has told you how important it is to look at your poop and understand its shape and color, he has some solutions to help you become a perfect pooper. If you fell into the category of being a Pellet Pooper, you may be eating a lot of “white” foods, like pastas, breads and rice, which can contribute to constipation. There are some foods you can start eating to boost your bowels:
- Bananas
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Oat Bran
- Raspberries
Pumpkin seeds and bananas both contain Magnesium, which is important because it helps to loosen the intestinal walls and push things through.
Dr Oz: Spicy Foods Cause Diarrhea
Often times, people who have liquid poop eat foods that are overly spicy. Spicy foods cause a problem because they have a lot of Capsasin in them, which goes through your body too quickly. Dr. Oz says you can still enjoy spicy foods, but you should also include some other foods to encourage a more perfect poop.
- White Rice
- Applesauce
- Blueberries
- Lemon Juice
Dr. Oz adds that to improve your urine and get it looking clearer, you need to drink more water until it you can see through it.
Diana Christianson says
You mentioned bananas as a food to prevent constipation. Everywhere that I read states that bananas are one of the foods to eat when you have diarrhea. The BRAT diet is always mentioned as well as other foods. My mother who has some trouble with constipation was told by her doctor to cut back on the banana that she ate every day. I have had a lower colon cancer and have many problems with diarrhea due to several causes. I was told that a banana a day (as well as other things) helps to stabilize my bowels.
Please explain your reasoning for your comment.
