0:00.0	Hi, everyone. Welcome to Living Well with Janet, where we explore different health and
0:10.1	bonus topics to enrich our ever-evolving personal practices. I'm your host, Janet.
0:18.4	I recently went on a 10-day trip around Japan, and it was absolutely amazing. It was the
0:33.9	first true international trip that I've taken since the start of COVID, and my first time
0:39.7	back to Asia in, I don't know, over five years or so. Now, when I travel, I usually don't
0:45.5	have any major digestion issues. I've rarely gotten food poisoning or constipation. Honestly,
0:52.0	I really can't remember the last time I struggled with that. However, this time was a different
0:59.1	story. About halfway into our trip, I started feeling a little extra bloated. Mind you, I was on
1:06.4	my period when we got there, so I didn't think much of it at the time. But then, another day passed,
1:12.4	and another, and I realized that I hadn't, how do you say, drop the kids off at the pool,

1:38.5	repeats in Chinese. It goes something like this. What that translates to is eat, drink, poo, pee,
1:50.4	and sleep. Basically, these are the key elements that pertain to your health. How you eat, what you
1:57.7	drink, the quality of your poops and your pee, and the quality of your sleep. Given my recent
2:04.5	experience, it got me thinking, what actually is considered healthy poop? How long should it take for
2:11.3	me to go? Is there such a thing as stress poops? And have you ever noticed whether your poop floats?
2:17.4	I mean, should it float? And of course, I was also curious, how can I have better poops? We'll go
2:25.7	into all of this and more in today's episode.
2:34.5	So, in thinking about what is considered normal or healthy poop, I first began by trying to figure
2:43.4	out how often and how long it should take you to go. Based on what I found, you should be going
