How often should you poop? The answer might not be what you think

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:43:47 GMT

By Kristen Rogers | CNNEveryone poops, but it turns out we don’t all need to poop every day.That’s a misconception, said gastroenterologist Dr. Folasade May, an associate professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.“I even have people who try and make appointments, because they say, ‘Oh, I stopped having a bowel movement every single day a few years ago,’” May said. “And I have to remind people that there’s really not a fixed or normal number of bowel movements.”That notion probably stems from a Victorian-era belief that having a bowel movement daily makes you healthier, said Dr. Michael Camilleri, a consultant and professor in the division of gastroenterology and hepatology at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.Not necessarily. “Most people will have anywhere between a bowel movement up to three times a day to three times per week,” May added. “Anywhere in that range, we consider normal.”When it comes to bowel movements as a measure of he...

The fantastic maritime history of the Bay Area, from tortoise steaks to urban arks

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:43:47 GMT

The Bay Area, perhaps more than any other part of the West Coast, has always been shaped by its relationship to the water. Today, that maritime history lives on everywhere you look, from unique dishes and tipples to a boisterous sailing culture right down to the literal foundation of cities built upon ships.“The Ohlone and the Coast Miwok – folks who called the Bay Area home before the Europeans arrived – were at their heart a maritime people. They used the technology available to them, tule-reed canoes mostly, to go on hunting and fishing expeditions, and the result of that activity can be seen in the detritus they left behind,” says Timothy Lynch, author of “Beyond the Golden Gate: A Maritime History of California.”“These midden sites or shell mounds – you can see one in Emeryville, for example, that was several hundred feet long and dozens of feet high – were really reflective of resource acquisition. They were going out in pursuit of marine mammals or shellfish to augment their ...
