A huge thank you to Eat This, Not That, Dr. Peyton Berookim was honored to be mentioned in a recent article they published, titled, “7 Tricks To Help You Poop First Thing Every Morning.”
In the article, he said, “Having a bowel movement first thing in the morning can get rid of those symptoms (feeling bloated, backed up, etc.) so you feel better throughout the day.”
As an MD, MA, FACG, AGAF of the Gastroenterology Institute of Southern California and advisor to BelliWelli, Dr. Berookim is highly qualified to speak on this subject.
Here are the 7 Tips to help you poop when you wake up:
- In the morning, drink warm water with lemon to stimulate bowel movement and hydrate the body.
- Consume fiber-rich foods such as whole grains and fruits to improve digestion and regularity.
- Probiotics can help to improve gut health and regulate bowel movements.
- To aid digestion and stimulate bowel movements, engage in light exercise such as stretching or yoga.
- Reduce stress, which can interfere with digestion and bowel movement.
- To align the body for easier elimination, use a squatty potty.
- Set aside bowel movement time in the morning to establish a routine and train the body to have regular bowel movements.
