I was asked by my niece what are the health benefits of pooping everyday and I couldn't give her an honest answer. Any docs able to answer?

Of course, when poop stay inside too long the toxins it contains can affect our bodily systems. regular movement is healthy, irregular movement can cause problems ranging from diverticulosis, piles, to bowel cancer.

We eat things to get the nutrition out of them. When you grow, your body uses the things you eat to make that stuff. Bones are made from calcium, muscles are made from protein. You can't build a house if you don't have any bricks, can you? Its the same way for our bodies. We can't grow unless we have the stuff to make out bodies out of, that stuff is real, healthy food. If you don't eat it, you don't grow. You'll be just as big as you are right now (comforting or devastating depending on age) if you don't eat.

However, food isn't just for us. There are things we don't need to use in our food that comes out so other things can use it. When we eat a fruit, that tree made that fruit for us, so that we can eat, but it tricked us. It also knows we'll drop its baby somewhere else where it can grow. Trees can't move on their own, so we do it for them. (This is where I'll explain the Australian exploding deer poop for a laugh).

When we take the energy, and the nutrition out of the food inside our stomachs, that makes nitrogen and other chemicals that nature needs to grow trees and plants, the same way we use cow poop in the garden. You are one part of the system that all works together. The sun makes plants, animals eat the plants, we eat the animals, we poop them out which helps the plants grow so the animals can eat again and we can eat the animals again.

If there were a closed system where mom just gave us Hot Pockets from the store (mom nature) that would be a limited, closed system tending towards entropy. Mom's sitting a few k, hoping to make it last. As living things, we are an open system, food being the energy that staves off entropy so long as we ain't got died. Entropy is when you die, and no new stuff is coming into you, so the system stops growing and living, i,e, decomp, you rot into the ground.

Pooping is proof of god, in terms of showing its not about you. That burger from the store will be corn in a field in 2 years if the nitrogen in your poop has anything to say about it. You were a middle man.
