4 Ways to Help Balance Your Poop šŸ’©

4 Ways to Achieve Healthy Poops šŸ’©

Let’s be real. Pooping isn’t exactly table talk. But here’s the thing—it 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 ā€œwhy is this taking so long?ā€ bathroom moments. It’s more common than you think—and you don’t have to settle for it.

The good news? A happy gut (and happy poops) can be just four simple changes away. Here’s how to help your digestive flow get back on track—with a little color and a lot of goodness.

Here are 4 ways to fix your poop:

Let’s break each one down:

1. Hydrate Like You Mean It 🄤

1. Hydrate Like You Mean It 🄤

Water is the unsung hero of healthy digestion. It helps break down food, absorb nutrients, and—most importantly—keeps your stool soft and easy to pass. Without enough hydration, everything slows down... including your bathroom visits.

šŸ’§ How much do you need?
Aim for at least 8–10 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 doesn’t have a net diuretic effect unless consumed in very high amounts (think: over 40 oz).

šŸ’§ 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 🌾

2. Get Friendly With Fiber 🌾

Fiber is your digestive system’s bestie—it 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.

🄦 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 isn’t just color—it’s variety and volume. More plants = more fiber.

šŸ“ The fiber fact check:
Colorful fruits and veggies are nutrient powerhouses, but fiber content isn’t 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 sources—regardless of shade.

3. Move That Body šŸ•ŗ

3. Move That Body šŸ•ŗ

A good poop is a full-body experience—literally. Movement helps get your digestive system moving too.

šŸš¶ā™€ļø Try this:
A brisk 20-minute walk, some morning yoga, or even dancing in your kitchen to your favorite playlist. It doesn’t have to be a workout. Just get things flowing.

✨ Your gut will thank you.
And you’ll boost your mood in the process.

4. Sip on Super Greens by Live it Up 🌿

4. Sip on Super Greens by Live it Up 🌿

Struggling to get enough veggies? A greens powder can be a simple way to fill in the gaps—especially on busy days.

🌱 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.

šŸ„„ 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.

šŸ’” Pro tip:
It’s not a replacement for real veggies—but it can be a helpful daily boost, especially when your meals aren’t as balanced as you’d like.
