Tell me how often you go to the bathroom, and I’ll tell you when you’ll die

Recently, I asked someone who needed help with his own health: “Do you go to the bathroom regularly?” “Yes, I go to the bathroom regularly, once or twice a week.”

For many people, it’s normal to go to the bathroom once every 3 days, for others even once a week. There are more and more people, often women, who can only relieve themselves a couple of times a month.

How often should one go to the bathroom? The answer might seem absurd, but it’s rather logical if we think about it for a moment: it’s advisable to empty ourselves the same number of times as we “fill up.”

If we eat 3 times a day, it’s good practice to go to the bathroom 3 times a day. This doesn’t mean that you should force yourself to go to the bathroom more often because you could create damage; you simply need to encourage your body to empty more frequently. How? We’ll see that later on.
