Bowelation Correlation

Had coffee with a bunch of friends last night and the topic of conversation was that one of our friend, whom I shall call Obiwan, apparently needed to answer the call of nature 3 to 4 times a day!

Now that of course set my logical mind to think. Due to my natural concern for my buddy's health, the thought of something seriously not working then sprang into my head! Immediately I went on to suggest that maybe something could be wrong with his bowels?? My companions on the table comforted me that it is not likely the case and that apparently hitting the pool to drop your friends off 3 times a day is a pretty common affair.

However, my mind was still trying to seek a logical explanation to this predicament and finally I struck gold!! You see my friend Obiwan is of a certain height and hence, that could explain his digestive tract could be shorter than others. Due to that, his food goes through faster and hence 3 times a day!! There you have it, another of life's mystery solved!!

Well,

There are many reason:

1. Very active digestive system
2. Food intake - more acidic food could encourage digestion.
3. Your friend drinks lot of water.
Etc etc etc.

In any case, being able to do it more often is good in the sense that you are getting rid of the junk in your body.

Hmm, I think coz he's short thats why food takes faster time to pass through the shorter intestinal tract....that's my theory anyways! LOL
