Having a healthy digestive tract means pooping regularly to eliminate wastes and toxins from the body. Although every person poops on a different schedule, not pooping at all is a concern. A “normal” pooping frequency is anywhere from three times a day to every other day. Most people notice a pattern in their bowel habits. People tend to poop at about the same time each day. Doctors define constipation as pooping two or fewer times per week. If you experience constipation, you should treat it promptly. Otherwise, stool can back up in the intestinal system, making it harder to poop and causing you to feel sick. There isn’t a defined amount of time — such as one week or one month — that a person could technically go without pooping. This is because everyone is different; people have different diets, different states of gastrointestinal health, and a host of different lifestyle factors that contribute to their regularity. However, if you haven’t pooped at all in a week and you’re eating as you normally would, you may need to start thinking about why you haven’t pooped. Sometimes a bowel or intestinal obstruction isn’t allowing stool to pass. This requires medical attention before it becomes a medical emergency. Also, some people withhold stool or physically refuse to poop due to anxiety over using the restroom. One extreme example is that of a young woman from the United Kingdom who passed away after eight weeks of not going to the restroom, according to The Independent. The stool caused her intestines to enlarge so significantly that they pressed on her organs and led to a heart attack. Instead of focusing on a specific amount of days that you haven’t pooped, it’s important to consider the symptoms that come along with not pooping for an extended amount of time. These include:

The main objective of intermittent fasting is not only to restrict calorie intake to lose weight but to divert its attention on things other than digestion like recovery and maintenance. When you fast, the body basically goes into the starvation mode and a series of metabolic changes take place. During this time, the body enters into ketosis, a state in which fat is used for energy when carbohydrates are unavailable. While fasting, it is crucial to stay hydrated and as you cannot get water from vegetables and fruits, you have to depend on beverages for that. But you need to be careful about the kind of beverage you choose to have. Drinks loaded with carbs or sugar can cause your body to secrete the hormone insulin and you can easily miss out on the benefits of intermittent fasting.
The three popular approaches to intermittent fasting are: Usually, the small meal is fewer than 500 calories. Eat a normal diet five days a week...
