Letās be real. Pooping isnāt exactly table talk. But hereās the thingāit should be. Because healthy digestion is the cornerstone of feeling good, staying energized, and yes, living it up.
Still, many of us struggle with irregularity, bloating, or those dreaded āwhy is this taking so long?ā bathroom moments. Itās more common than you thinkāand you donāt have to settle for it.
The good news? A happy gut (and happy poops) can be just four simple changes away. Hereās how to help your digestive flow get back on trackāwith a little color and a lot of goodness.
Here are 4 ways to fix your poop:
-
Drink more water to soften stool and support flow
-
Eat more fiber to add bulk and feed your gut
-
Move your body to stimulate digestion
-
Add a greens powder to cover your bases daily
Letās break each one down:
1. Hydrate Like You Mean It š„¤

Water is the unsung hero of healthy digestion. It helps break down food, absorb nutrients, andāmost importantlyākeeps your stool soft and easy to pass. Without enough hydration, everything slows down... including your bathroom visits.
š§ How much do you need?
Aim for at least 8ā10 cups a day, more if you're active, sweating, or in a hot climate. And good news: your morning coffee does count toward your hydration goals. Research shows that coffee contributes to fluid intake, and it doesnāt have a net diuretic effect unless consumed in very high amounts (think: over 40 oz).
š§ Pro tip:
Bored of plain water? Add citrus, cucumber, mint, or berries to make it more refreshing. Herbal teas, coconut water, and even high-water foods (like cucumbers or watermelon) also help keep you hydrated.
2. Get Friendly With Fiber š¾

Fiber is your digestive systemās bestieāit helps add bulk, soften stool, and keep things moving smoothly. Plus, it feeds your good gut bacteria, which helps with regularity and overall gut health.
š„¦ What to eat:
Go for plant-based whole foods rich in both soluble (e.g. oats, chia, beans) and insoluble fiber (e.g. veggies, seeds, whole grains). Think: lentils, flax, avocado, broccoli, and berries. The key isnāt just colorāitās variety and volume. More plants = more fiber.
š The fiber fact check:
Colorful fruits and veggies are nutrient powerhouses, but fiber content isnāt tied to color. A beige lentil may have more fiber than a bright red bell pepper. So while eating the rainbow is great for overall health, focus on fiber-rich sourcesāregardless of shade.
3. Move That Body šŗ

A good poop is a full-body experienceāliterally. Movement helps get your digestive system moving too.
š¶āļø Try this:
A brisk 20-minute walk, some morning yoga, or even dancing in your kitchen to your favorite playlist. It doesnāt have to be a workout. Just get things flowing.
⨠Your gut will thank you.
And youāll boost your mood in the process.
4. Sip on Super Greens by Live it Up šæ

Struggling to get enough veggies? A greens powder can be a simple way to fill in the gapsāespecially on busy days.
š± Why it helps:
Greens powders are concentrated with nutrients from vegetables that support digestion, gut health, and overall wellness. Many blends include probiotics, digestive enzymes, and fiber, which can help reduce bloating, improve regularity, and support a healthy gut environment.
š„ What to look for:
Choose a greens powder made with whole food ingredients (not synthetic isolates), and free from fillers, artificial sweeteners, or added sugar. Look for a mix of leafy greens, algae, prebiotics, and gut-supporting compounds like probiotics.
š” Pro tip:
Itās not a replacement for real veggiesābut it can be a helpful daily boost, especially when your meals arenāt as balanced as youād like.
To Wrap It Up... š½āØ
Healthy poops donāt have to be a mystery or a medical manual. With just a few small tweaks to your dayāmore water, more fiber, more movement, and a daily scoop of Super Greensāyou can feel the difference in just a few days.
Hereās to feeling good from the inside out.
Hereās to less strain, more ease.
Hereās to life in color. š
Because yes, better poops are worth celebrating.
Live it Up.
