Many of us (come on, admit it...) catch up on our reading when we go to the crapper. It's your very own 'special time' I like to call it. Instead of reading the typical newspaper or magazine, why not try reading the following books for a change?
The first is a fun book entitled "Everybody Poops" by Taro Gomi. The book's simple message is that 'pooping is a normal part of everyday life for all'! And for added fun, make sure to read "The Gas We Pass: The Story of Farts" by Shinta Cho. These books are freely available at your neighborhood chain bookstore (I kid you not).
The next book is entitled "You, The Owners Manual" written by Dr Roizen and Dr Oz (yes the same Dr Oz featured on Oprah's show). Home in on the section about crapping for some great insights. The good doctor says that if poop hits the water sounding like a Mexican cliff diver (i.e it slices the water), it's good. If it is dropping in like little bombs, like 'plop plop', then there is a problem.
Dr. Oz also encourages us to look at our poop, yes, LOOK. If it comes out in the shape of a banana, nice and round, then its good. If it comes out small pellets, that's no good. He also feels we should not get fixated by the number of bowel movements you have. An average person has a poop a day, some go every other day and that's ok. But if you only go only a couple of times a week, that should be monitored closely.
Reading these books while you are going Number 2 will give you a whole new perspective to a completely natural body function, among other things. This is not crap reading. Rather, it is reading about crap while crapping!
