But there\u2019s one more thing you might want to add to your a.m. to-do list: pooping.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ideal time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=intestinal%252Fcolon%2Bsupport\">poop<\/a> is first thing in the morning,\u201d explains Elana Maser, M.D., gastroenterologist at The Mount Sinai Hospital. In fact, the earlier, the better. \u201cThe morning is when you get your strongest colonic contractions,\u201d says Maser. That\u2019s because your small intestine and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=intestinal%252Fcolon%2Bsupport\">colon<\/a> process what you ate the prior day while you were sleeping.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/02\/10\/foods-and-drinks-for-when-you-cant-poop\/\">8 Foods And Drinks For When You Just Can\u2019t\u00a0Poop<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not much of a morning pooper? Fear not! The best way to get on that schedule is to avoid rushing around in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat may mean waking up earlier,\u201d says Maser. \u201cTake time in the morning to sit on the toilet. It sounds simple, but people often do not do this or they get up off the toilet too quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, you should be pooping at least once a day, but it\u2019s not abnormal to go more often (or less). Generally speaking, if you eat more, you should be pooping more. This way, explains Maser, you\u2019ll avoid those uncomfortable need-to-poop side effects like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=bloating\">bloating<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=stomach%2Bsoothing\">tummy aches,<\/a>\u00a0and foul-smelling<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=gas\"> gas<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe GI tract likes regularity. It likes consistent meal times, and prefers relaxation over stress. Most people will tell you that when they are on vacation and not rushing off to work or working odd hours, their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=intestinal%252Fcolon%2Bsupport\">bowels<\/a> move better,\u201d says Maser.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=digestive%2Bhealth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Shop products that will help to keep your digestive health on track<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not regular, though, don\u2019t panic\u2014most of the time irregularity is not a sign of a deeper problem. \u201cThe best way to stay regular is to eat three meals a day at the same time every day,\u201d says Maser \u201cDrink lots of water, and eat a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=fiber\">fiber<\/a>. Avoid junk food, specifically candies and gummies, and exercise often.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the case that you were regular and are no longer, consider checking in with your doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Got it?
