So, fellow Mixlorians! What unusual facts do you know??
I recently learned that your poo (yes, you read that right) is connected to your mental health!
Here:
- If you're suffering from runny and/or 'explosive' diarrhoea, it might be an indication of inflammation within your gut! Those inflammatory markers can be affecting your brain.
- Diarrheoa: - there's a risk of nutrient malabsorption because your body might be struggling to absorb the nutrients from your food. Nutrient deficiencies are hugely linked to mental health problems like depression
- "Poo-phoria" - occurs when your bowel movement stimulates the vagus nerve, which runs from your brainstem to your colon. This nerve can give you the chills and drop your heart rate and blood pressure enough to cause you to feel lightheaded and super-relaxed! Explaining why you might feel good after passing number 2!

Pooping is a necessary bodily function that removes waste from the body and makes space in the digestive system. The act of pooping has both physiological and psychological effects that may feel pleasurable. There are psychological effects like the sensation or urge to poop may feel both physically and mentally uncomfortable. Since pooping eases this discomfort, it may make the person feel good. Pooping may feel good for a number of reasons. For example, passing stool involves the contraction and release of certain muscles, as well as the stimulation of certain nerves. Some of these nerves provide pleasurable feelings when activated.
To support this claim, I have conducted an experiment with three participants. Out of three, all have agreed that when taking a shit, their mood has elevated. In conclusion, a shit a day keeps the depression away.
AMEEEEN
AHAH AGREED
WOW! I thought guinea pigs were territorial towards each other?? I heard they can be aggressive from time to time.

There's a part of me I can't get back. A little girl grew up too fast. All it took was once. I'll never be the same.
