News24mediaGut health isn’t just about how often you poop — it’s about how long your food stays inside you.
New research shows gut transit time is now the most accurate biomarker for digestive, metabolic, and microbiome health.
Healthy adults: 14–59 hours.
Slow transit? Toxins build.
Fast transit? Poor absorption.
Ayurveda calls this Agni — your digestive fire.
Track your timing. Fix your gut. Transform your health. 🔬🌿

David RuffnerI was cleaning bird poop off of my wife's car and I wondered, why is it white? I knew birds only have a single opening for poop, pee and sex, the cloaca. But why is it white instead of yellowy brown? It turns out birds produce uric acid or guanine instead of liquid urine. These produce a whitish paste. Here is a good little article about it from Brittanica https://www.britannica.com/story/why-is-bird-poop-white

Jacquelyn GillBeing on the "Spore" server of Mastodon amuses me because I work with a fungal spore that's found in the dung of mastodons, among other things. #poopscience
