I heard this joke in Russian, which is quite informative, about the importance of our colon functioning properly for our total health:
"At the day of the world's creation the internal organs got together, arguing who should be the boss.
The brain said, "I should be in charge, because I direct all the internal organs".
The eyes disagreed, "We need to be in charge, because we show everyone where to go in this world".
If so, said the heart, then I should be the boss, because I send the blood to all the organs, allowing them to function".
The small intestine argued, "I should be the boss, because I feed everyone".
Feet said: "We have to be the boss, because we take everyone places".
Comes out the excrement and says: "No, I have a right to be the boss".
All the organs laughed, and then the excrement refused to come out for 5 days!
Then, the eyes came out of their orbits, the heart was almost getting a heart attack, small intestine exploding, legs got lifeless...
Then all the organs yelled: "Let the excrement be the boss!"
Since then, every excrement wants to be the boss.
I don't drink the same thing every morning. Sometimes, I don't even drink as I feel my stomach has plenty of moisture.
I do love to eat fruits a lot, as they are full of live liquid, enzymes and minerals. Sometimes, I feel like eating the fruits dry, so that they absorb extra liquid in my stomach. I don't eat until I feel my colon is empty. I still have work to do not to eat when I'm not hungry - I love move food :)
