YOGYAKARTA A defecating in addition to the adequacy of eating fibered foods, hydration adequacy, and regular exercise, according to research related to overall health. Research conducted by the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) published in the journal Cell Reports Medicine, found the frequency of bowel movements in a day or week could affect microbes and the risk of chronic diseases.

The frequency of bowel movements, affects all body systems, said professor Sean Gibbons. If the frequency of bowel movements is not normal, it could be an important risk factor in the development of chronic diseases. This study also found that bowel movements every day mark better gut health.

This study looked at health data and lifestyles of more than 1,400 healthy adults aged 19-89 years. Most participants are white (89 percent), and more than half are women. Research data are in the form of blood and blood samples, as well as checking reports on the frequency of bowel movements, which are divided into four groups. Groups include constipation (one or two times bowel movements each week), normal (between three and six times bowel movements each week), normal (one and three times bowel movements every day), and diarrhea (four or more bowel movements every day).

After all the data was collected, the research team searched for a link between the frequency of participants' defecation and other factors, including lifestyle options, demographics, genetics, intestinal microbiome health, blood metabolic, and plasma chemistry. The research shows that younger people, women, and have lower body mass indexes, frequent bowel movements are less frequent. But researchers also found, signs of healthy bowel movements, do not depend on age, gender, body mass index, genetics, and other health markers.

This study shows that certain bacteria in the intestines fermented fiber, associated with healthy intestinal microbiomes as well. This sign appears in people who report bowel movements between one and two times a day. Meanwhile, bacteria known to fermented proteins appear more frequently in participants who experience constipation or diarrhea. Blood and plasma samples also affect the frequency of bowel movements. In people who rarely urinate, it shows signs of a decrease in kidney function, while those who more often defecate have markers of liver function disorders.

"In people who are constipated, we see an increase in toxins originating from microbes in the blood, which is known to damage the kidneys in chronic kidney disease patients. One of these toxins, indocsil sulfate, is also associated with a decrease in kidney function in these healthy people. In people who experience diarrhea, we see an increase in inflammation markers and poor liver function markers," explained professor Gibbons as quoted by Health, Sunday, September 29.

The relationship between bowel movements and chronic diseases, not causal relationships, continued Gibbons. However, it shows that changes caused by the body do not increase the risk to the development of various chronic diseases related to aging. Referring to this study, it is important for you to prioritize digestive and gut health to reduce the development of chronic diseases and improve overall health.
