Hey folks available now from Iheart a new series presented by T Mobile for business, the restless ones join host Jonathan Strickland, as he explorers when technological revolution with a restless business leaders who stand right on the cutting edge? They know that Is a better way to get things done and they are ready, curious and excited for the next technological innovate to unlock their vision of the future in each episode will learn more from the restless ones themselves and I've deep into how five g revolution- could enable their teams to thrive the restless. Is now available. Only I hurt radio up or wherever you listen, the pod gas brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve Camry. It's ready are you welcome to stop? You should know how stuff works done. And welcomed the broadcast on Josh Clark with me, as always, is Charles W shock right, Ah
That's good chuck, even just a jazz hands, everybody did you have to get up yet either that her elbow right, really sick, the bottom, each in turn. I can't wait to hear your interests I've been gnawing on the phone. I dont know what to say. I have I have an idea of try. It does make edited out, probably not their kids, it's not bad, but shock. Yes, did you know that I think probably the worst thing humans ever invented, not a nuclear bomb, not syrian gas, not reality tv. The second story in the men's batter the second one and our bathroom
in any public batter with me. My second, I think the worst thing that mail human being can do to another mail- and I am speaking for my agenda- is to come in and sit down in the stall next to an already occupied star Tita mean second, you just mean more than one year after the second through infinity, exactly yeah, don't you know me, I don't do that either. I know you're a courteous. Fine person who opens bathroom door sees once occupied, turns around Now, my time, maybe I should go find another bathroom. There are other things you can do you just handled one thing like white: what's the terminology we're gonna use here, I like poop, ok, proves fine with me to theses. Fecal matter party pooper way like easier to swap excrement summit.
Oh yeah. Excrement is sometimes the fun word ending. This article uses the word fart wagon idiotically, still in my interests, so think that that's a horrible assault on a person's humanity to sit down in already occupied all sit down in the stall. Next to you must hate the important, but how? yes, a stone airport but like I did literally in emergency, if I'd like ten guys, pooping next to each other in every airport, never, never anything! Maybe one time I entirely anyway. I hate it just as much as before, but now that I've read this article, Einstein was going on external open this. My answer I like it we're talking about the digestive system, has a yard, yes, which there's some amazing facts right off the bat that Melissa Jeffreys, who are not familiar with her
But this is a pretty quality article. If you ask me to use the word for it, she did I that may be the only article on the site or that word comes in. I find it site. Averting works. Is there now that's enough in this article, it will get to that later. She also says what I think, maybe one of the best in its is on our website, which is that I just a team is composed of a bunch of hollow passageways that started your mouth and ended. Your aim is pretty much as little yet figures in one s waistcoat at the other. And bringing to tell you how yeah. But let's talk a little bit about the digestive system like how long is it man about thirty feet? Yeah, that's good long link! I mean, if you think about it, what year six feet: five, nine five eleven. Am I right in fact finnish, ok to five ten, but your end trails, our third
they are now that's pretty impressive yet and that the wonted nail me was the Yahoo I know at this year. The small intestine surface area is the size of a tennis court. Yes, a basically, if you played your small enter, and loose from the rest of your bowels split it in unfolded it because it's the folds that they get you. If you ve strained it out, you can pretty much play tennis on it in a deregulation, fastness nutty you got clay not able to Russia asphalt and interests are right. So the cool thing about this article in the digestive system period as that there's a beginning and there's an end here and
they used ham sandwich in the article. So let's go with that yeah. It makes sense like like basically we're going to now follow what happens to ham sandwich the moment you not even the moment you eat it, starting when you pick it up and bring it to your mouth in. It hits the area where your nose can smell and so begins. The journey to your anus so we can do this. One man, I've done way way more tawdry, potentially explosive topics. In this way, we can do some ashamed that I'm a grown man. I terror that word so you as they say which comes to you to your mountain. Your nose smells that ham. And it sends a signal of the brain says it's chow time. Let's get this party started in your brain the signal, the savary glance in your mouth and they start pumping saliva when you say my mouth watering. I smell that. That's exactly was gonna. It's exactly right! Now. I think my brain is over
You know how people are always like cells are just as eating a piece. A candy now undecided, overproduce spit cause, I'm always hungry and I can smell anything be like well. I could go for that right now. Well, money! so you ve got your mouth lowering of saliva and the reason you salivate is because it has digestive proteins and call them with like Emily's, yes M This is the reason you dont like your lips, and you know that. That's why you're lips tat when you listen to it, because you're actually destroying the very thin, delicate skin of your lips with this protein is designed a breakdown food boy. My lips, remiss always look, picking out of Canada, so yeah Josh it at the emerald, gets to work immediately on the cards and the bread yeah. When you swallow it's gonna get down your throat. Your pharynx yeah we covered a lot of this- is swallowing atmosphere. So if you want even more in depth, look at that goes to now be able to take the same path,
as you know, a sword going down into your lungs and you don't want Red going into your long. So I thank you epiglottis you saw the flap, that's gonna, get it in the right direction, almost all the time unless certain malfunction anytime, you swallowed epiglottis, covers trickier, leaving the esophagus to open up and accept your spit or you Lois member Bullet- is chewed food. Yes, so your sandwiches no longer considered sandwich it bolas. Now, that's right, I actually chopped last week on a sandwich like Mama CAS I did and I ended up long it through my nose for the next ten minutes. Is it impossible? It is, that's If something happened, I choked and coughed- and you know when I guess entered my nasal Patsy
well he's an I was literally buying sandwich item. I knows her. It was not find the mustard, ok, you're, lucky it in her mother. I do know that returned So now we are well. We got a point out at the at the top of the esophagus. Is upper esophagus sphincter, yet the bottom there's a low lower its right. Ok, I interviewed Sofia and they were food in and then let it right back, which is exists. How should work right along the way you have these muscle, contractions remembered called the Pakistani sees Paris stealthy their spouses peristyles instead, is basically the rings in your esophagus rings of muscles contracting and relaxing, and they are
fact above and relax below and pushed the boldest down. Then when it hits that lower esophagus sphincter. That opens up in it pops into your stomach and Paracelsus is the key to everything your throughout the entire process of digestion. Basically, here about your hot you're gets in your stomach, dislike contracting and expanding and stirring things up, and it's all just basically Let us pass Modoc muscle contraction this right and it will get the girl later. But if you have heartburn or genuine gird,
that means lower esophagus cincture is not working right in summer. Your stomach acid is getting back up in there, but as the most Jeffreys puts it, you have a lazy, lower ISAF, idiosyncratic lazy angered is Gastro ISAF, ideal reflex disease. I've got it a heartburn. Do you have it stinks daily? My brother in law had it so bad that he the thing they ve Everest diagnosed. A mistaken estimate with panic attack kisses chest was so tight, but it hurt so bad that it is a covered, his entire chest and it felt like a like a heart attack. Yeah, that's what my If you like, if I didn't take take my pill, that's awful like a good boy. They know that he has terrible lowering, give him silence coming out. You know you have a vile and other stuff coming
in the years off again, you can get problems with it with my digestive system was say that Self Brenda Stomach understanding it's gonna your basic. Basically, the stomach is gonna, get everything ready to go to the next step into small intestine, by producing all kinds of enzymes and acid to break stuff down and also mucus to quote the stomach, because the acid would damage your stomach right as well as the wind for this protective mucus. Yes, which is very good that had their yeah and if you dont have a protective mucus or your ass. It can be your mucus in a wrestling match. Till you get authors in one way. When we twenty seconds every twenty seconds, though the stomach is gonna, go through the Paracelsus yeah. I think I can do that more frequently, because I looked up why your stomach, groom
howls rumbles gurgles. That's just the sounds of digestion and it happened when your Hungary is because your brain is not only send a message to your salary, very glance to start salivating is also serenity of stomach to start the digestive process, Khazars food, coming as that's why you gurgle, when your hungry? It also happens when you eat too much rare for you in your gurgling, its that's. Your stomach contracting problems, its human nature, to hate problems, but why is that, after our problem, inspire us to men things, then things make things better. That's why so many people work with IBM on everything, from city traffic, to ocean plastic, new schools to new energy flight delays to food safety, Smart loves problems, IBM
let's put smart to work, visit, IBM dot com, slash Smart, to learn more, so if, if every goes well and all the stuff in there can be liquefied in the time and by the way, don't Google image that yet Bolas converts the kind sandwich in the ball is in the time and that's if it can be converted into the time which is liquefied, it's gonna get out of your stomach. In about twenty minutes of liquefied blob, that's that's a good definition of Yes, it is, and not everything can in turn, time, though so that's gonna remain, can take longer to expand our to get the more solid stuff out, and that's not a look. If I Bob is more pasty a pasty blob, yes, and it's not called time, that's called you.
I see you get the kinds I do. Your stomach right is now in the dwarf them yeah. It's it's entered the small intestine which, as we said, the small intestine is considered the small incessant because the circumference of it is is narrower than the large and tested the small intestine is broken into three parts in the entire point of small intestine is digestion and absorption a breakdown of the food materials and then the absorption of the particles that are broken down right that's right! So the first part of the small intestine is what the duodenum yet our pronouncing. It may be doing nothing. I was doing my head, but I like to look at and that that basically, a big burst of enzymes from the pancreas and the liver file from liver ended
it's really breaking out food like that the foods like no more no more than it leaves the stomach for the small intestines in its like out of the frying pan into the fire for the stuff tat the next time. Parts are the judge, Unum and the I am, and they don't do a lot of breaking down the food they mainly or absorbing the nutrients right, where you send it to the large intestine yeah and here's this. If it gets me man, I love this Large intestines also about absorption to some parts of it are, but it's also the biggest function it provides, is preparing waste. It seems like the I've always wondered like how do you get your nutrients out of food in this article? Explains it Billy. It's also men. Think about is so
this breakdown processing. You have specialised enzymes, like some enzymes from your liver are meant to break down like that's right, right and proteins. Viewer pancreas is meant to break down like gum, carbohydrates, sea of specialised enzymes that breakdown certain things, and then you have really, like you said these little tiny hair like projectiles micro, really that cover the folds of your small incessant, and then you have Micro Valley which are projectiles on the small projectiles and these things, like you, member taste, buds, are or taste receptors or attuned to certain taste tat. These things are attuned to certain nutrients, so they pick up certain types of nutrients and then absorb them through the cell, through the wall of your intestines in India, bloodstream to be delivered throughout your body. That is thing. Is it it's amazing? That's an amazing, a process of pleasure knocked out by this
Basically, along the way this food is travelling down and like it just gets hit by like hit and run by all these different proteins. They just go into the walls of your intestines, leaving with left over his right eye. Unjust amazement, straight now, you're in the large intestine, the indigestible parts it is, and this Last stretch here, you're gonna get you know, fluid is gonna, be extracted That is what you want in the end, which is a solid fecal matter. You don't want to know Sally Watery, you don't want to see neither vanderdyke up. There is a balance to be struck and the large intestine? You know the bottom. There's three part, that. The bottom is that the system and the law appendix dangles off into that than theirs.
Ascending ascending colon, which goes up. Obviously, the transverse coin, which shoots across your body and then it dropped back down to the decent in Poland, are the first to section. Salts and fluids are absorbed, from the food right. Electrolyte has left your light. That's right and also bacteria, good bacteria in the Kohen they're gonna ferment and absorb fibre, which is that I get your fibre yeah, pretty amazing. It shook we know a little bit about bacteria member, the little video we mean anything without yeah yeah about healthy bacteria and how you have really good will really be,
fish colonies of bacteria in your intestines and dumb. If you're bacteria is not doing the trick or you lose it, you can get approved transplant train, which poop taken from another healthy person ground up in a blunder with sailing solution, may be injected into the ailing patient, drank basically get a good colony of bacteria in the intestine, which is a great thing it works. Then poop is gonna, move about a centimeter per hour, the your large intestine. So it's a lot slower than your small intestine, and it does this with the help of more mucus.
It is on the inside of your large and destined to help the people through, and then you know that point you, basically, if one of the chamber its Christian as they say. So, that's the that's the best path. If Europe with you a bite of ham sandwich, that's what happens to you. That's all you see, but there's other things at play. There's other factors in other organs. Lots are involved in this. At this. Please please immune system. I thought the Fisher spleen whom do they just and it s like almost no role. Indigestion whatsoever are basically the two big organs outside of the actual digest,
system that play a major role in digestion by the liver which, by the way, makes up what two and a half per cent of your body weight. Did you know that nets big organ? I had no idea and do not look up cirrhosis and Google images either yeah. You realize you know. You say that about you. Tell people not to look things up. You know that every time you do people go look things yes right up, I'm so the liver likely said, creates vile, which is a brownish yellowish fluid that's designed to break down fats and proteins and the liver stores the sector by producers in the gall bladder- and you say well, wait a minute. I am. I call better. Take
Now that's worry, the liver has it covered. It restores extra, violent bile. That's right! That's right! The pancreas pancreas creates enzymes that are designed to break down things like carbs, I believe also fats and proteins as well, but for the most part deliver handle, sat so basically both of these things, organs are producing these proteins, the shooting them into intestines, particularly your small enter, and on their hoping breakdown. Your food, but that's not all and Paracelsus, is helping this whole It's making everything move around involuntarily contracting relaxing get all about, and especially in the stomach to its briskly, like washer under wash cycle. In a washing machine. Glands are very important. If you didn't have glance, then
you wouldn't be screening, anything right and you need all these juices acids. Enzymes The glance basically start in your mouth with saliva and go all the way through the stomach. Not I mean it didn't, go all the way to get an glance the thieves resistant dogs are not their humans have those not just in dogs, but you know We have no glance showed a good up here and now. Hormones are really important. Like super important. They basically control everything. Starting off each process, so a hormone it doesn't matter what you're, what your bodies doing Hormone is a chemical signal and specifically with digestion, you got gas Dron. We tell the stomach to produce acid, to cretin, tells the pancreas to do it.
Same with deliver awe and what I d like to talk to the stomach NASA basically secreted says Custard secreted your juices right and then Sissy K, which, if I may call system Canaan, color closest again call it call. This is the kind of very close, your much better pronouncing things to me. Well, I look it up. Sissy k basically says: hey, pancreas, hey gallbladder, we need more stuff and they give it to him so fast the hormones are running throughout the body. Saying you. You start that's right. There's food, a foot, there are other hormones and we cover these are growing. Peptide. Why? Why? Where do we cover? That was at an end, but I got it totally backwards. What the first time we did it
I said that grow in was the stomach signal that it was for the exact opposite. Damage are hungry, yeah, the stomach and a small intestine produced. The hormone growing ended that communicates to the brain to say, get some food, and here too we get listen a lot of it and then peptide. Why? Why does the opposite, as boots were very for for a solid gullet, peptide I why I don't eat until I heard no longer do you now, Sis I dont get it, and so american here growth, the empty. Why wise as well? We got enough to stop stop feeling tat boy, that's right! Nerves play their part, basic nerves are in an unconscious part of the brain in the spinal cord and here near them when you get to see the coin and adrenaline the main function of
a is the signal all this Paracelsus, all this muscle, contraction and basically adrenaline shuts down when there's no food, then you don't need to keep contracting and relaxing in moving around just take it take a job in another conducted by extrinsic nerves, which are in the brain and spinal cord. I, the intrinsic nerves, are located in the actual guts and what's cause, they circumvent the brain, their activated by basically the pressure of food in your intestine others. A weird now, usually the brain bypassed though its generally the seed of everything here, a great agreed. So, ah you know that's digestion. We should talk about all the stuff in your food, what it means you like carbs. This is this. Is the amazing part that I was talking about earlier, where it's just absorbed near? You know this as well:
happens, Gaga sunrise molecular level. Carbs are broken down by all these juices absorbed into the small intestine and then eventually the blood starch in the brain. If you're eating bread savings, happened to that, but is also going to produce a byproduct glucose it'll, give you some energy there in your liver or give her whole body energy but stored in a liver. At least it will give your whole body energy. Eventually, when your liver releases and burns it a threat to carbs, aren't a dirty word night does have to be careful. A kind of carved your ear taking it near. Some are definitely better than others. Complex, carbohydrates, heard generally better than simple carbohydrates, shirt, but remit
We now need to longer would be everyone thought bread was like an evil thing on the planet is aware, if you want to lose weight really fast start eating bread, the simple, as that does make it evil them. That's one way protein remember you ve got to see your specialised enzymes, some come from the pancreas, but most of it coming from the deliver in the gall bladder, the stuff down, ultimately into amino acids. Any amino acids are what are absorbed and taken throughout your body. Amino acids are the building blocks of all life. What did he say? and vitamins. As my english friends say, you have an english friend and more than one or do you then how many english friends you have. I got dozens, vitamins are there's a couple kinds, water cycle and thats able
b and c are the ones that are water cycle and they are easily absorbed along with water in the swamp Essen, but they also are easily gotten rid of passed through your gear. And then you get the fats able which we're talking about eighty and Kay their absorbed. Just like that and then they are stored once are absorbed their stored in life of sites. I think his lip sites, like, like you, say, liposuction or like a surgeon, I say liposuction, there goes the lie. That's what I didn't look up. Actually, I looked up all these other pronunciation leper sites like lipids fats here we're like labour like alighted, so that's it man, that's that's the digestive process as its idea,
he meant to function. It doesn't always function like that. You know then function like that for me ever there's a lot of problems they can arise verily, you have all of us know not all There is also some I guess. Impoliteness they can arise is just a matter of course to the normal normal doing business like belting night, if you eat especially quickly. Ah, you gonna get a lot of aircraft in your stomach for soda, obviously yeah. Basically, any sort of anything that has to do with air getting trapped in your stomach river ends up. It is about your bert, because I just felt that's that's good stuff. I sat up straight. That's how it that's. What usually does it for me at all? It is, is basically year you're esophagus,
pushing this air from your stomach out of your mouth rather quickly, three to four burps is normal. After a meal, you say anything more than that you might have an altar. Perhaps maybe you just getting well gases, something different yeah, we'll get to their men. Ok, vomiting, that's normal! It's considered normal vomit, three or four times after each me on her. That's not true at all. In this very dangerous. I did I'm sorry that, yes, vomiting is normal. If you have it usually bad bacteria, Europe your system and a signal asset. Hey you gotta, get us out of here, and it's really that easy is rooted in the party Here I heard a gym brewers little bit about all the different alcohol coming into your stomach and, finally, like I can't remember
comes in like the ruins. I require everybody's solidarity and I think I might be what it is. Then we talk a little bit about gird before check here, one of the twenty two million Americans. You know that I'm a good company who has gird seven hundred thousand ships the hospital each year in the? U s alone near I just managed to over the counter stuff in it. It handles it fully for the most part, but it's not good it. I mean my doctor Tommy's again the sudden good deliver this for your life so. What does it matter now? You get a new us as your sphincter ongoing. Didn't nothing like. I always. Why me? What can you do? I'm not sure I don't know
another surgeries, but I don't know what you know how involved. That is why I will study in you find the lowest price for surgery I'll beat it by half. What are you and Costa Rica, their big for administrator Pacifica area? Like good dinner, the thought cheaper. How are you getting big something you gotta be grown? I didn't really cheap peptic ulcers man, that's another problem that actually we walked right past and the ten scientists ease themselves as guinea pigs episode. So practical answers. You remember when, when we were kids Thomson. Railways is like home, stress, stouter ran a lot of. I got a deadline. I got your fury and alter yeah, not true. Also, it turns out are
cause largely most of the time by a bacteria called Helio, backed her by lorry H, Pilar H, Pilar and there was a guy in australian physician. I think he's a physician, or at least a biologist. I can't remember maybe a bacterial just we'll find out. I'm sure this is like listener. Mail on listener. Mail That's how bad this is anyway, as new very marshal, and he figured out there. It was h by lorry that was probably causing political answers to prove it. He drank a culture
of that begs area and incurred himself within a by artists, and he developed Patrick also in the interim and showed like yeah. That's what it is you want a Nobel Prize for it will yet, while anti inflammatory sometimes can causes as well- and I think, that's probably like an abundance of anti inflammatory yonder. Think if you take like an anville you're gonna get petticoats culture, but also of any kind. Basically is something has gone into it stomach and is compromised. Your stomach or your intestines is compromised. The lining the mucous by way of a head right and while all those acids and then allowed to eat through, and you have holes in it and drank not fine. Berger get once a year once usually ones which way does it come out both at the same time, as you ve done that I have is that so
the avenue once I I guess it probably get those married think more than once a year seems like any new start paying attention yeah. I don't know it all day you next year, ok, my flew always comes by way of the stomach. It seems like an arrow. Have like the regular, flew that much it's right, you don't you get like septic flues, right. Peptic first know something wasn't like aseptic stomach Now you were green. I've never seen a human being green before. Oh, you, poor guy for Gaza Lactose intolerant. I'm also that yet certain agree really like. If eight pizza yeah, then I'm having trouble
so here this is a rare try, trifecta, try virgins will call it of this episode. The cheese episode and the gluten episode Celia for certain it because in the syriac episode I said we are talking about caisson now the case in this probably to say another word for lactose in and that's what people are intolerant of might well. That is totally incorrect as we found on the cheese episode, because that she's upset remember caisson is the main, fattened, she's right right so now were here and I'm correcting a great all three or can join by mistakes and regret the even say what it was like those in time and you can they just knock sugar lactose, not even though that is have you ever had the milk, the lactose freedom
no, I drink a lot of alma milk. These days, though, it's really good families on the soil, she's gonna tell her that I only milk, I think it better and with a genuine tire, try Emily try it a call inside you so bugs, or is this not milk? It was a coconut milk. It's considered milk that you consider coconut milk milk at something something cocoanut juice. Now it's coca milk and everybody calls it that's what everyone causeway maximum right The name milk to me unless it comes out of it and by scientific advice and teeth everybody. It's just chuck, and we have a question for you: why do you need a lobbying outer where this winter? Well, we have? An answer is well laid on em chuck. Well, lobbying out aware design with innovative technology makes it super. Easy for you to get outside
still enjoy nature even in the coldest have winters yeah. What do you like you outside the where ski sled snowball fight lobbying- has covered for even the very coldest whether there eight fifty down jacket, maybe down tech, Pfc, free water pilot stage, I fifty percent longer than the original down tat the tried and must not forget lobbying outer, where is designed in Maine, where the average low temperature is below freezing from November through March, so I think they know what they're doing If we know what they're doing- five warm innovative winner out aware at L, l being dot com, that's l, L, B, IE, eight and dot com, well be now outsider All right, so we should over the other end of the problems near your bottom end. Like
de the other than ever. Mandatory bow disease structural. He had not to be confused with IVF ideas really, like you say earlier, IBM saga of thought. Those when I didn't have outbreaks. Percent at there's two types, major types of Abd AL sort of politeness and Crohn's disease about six hundred thousand Americans are afflicted by this each year. And basically their altars intestines that led to a crime diarrhoea, intestinal leading, not fun. Now did you know that there may be like local law in some places, but they're trying to pass legislation that if you are occurrence patient- and you tell somebody like in a public like a business or something that doesn't provide public restrooms, they you have grown, then you need to use the restroom
this legislation would make it a crime to not where a person with Crohn's disease seriously we are more bathroom. No, I think, if some he tells you I have consequences. I guess they. This it would be that you just have to be a total jerk to use that, but even if, even if you are encountering a jerk, it's worth having put up with that, jerks then did like not let a person with crones use. Your bathroom is its federal. Last, I heard here's the thing, though you do that new, like whatever dude I never heard of that they kicking up. So what you go back and have them fine or something
but then that is the only real problem. No, it isn't right, then, by than the news picks up an answer talking about it and then it awareness develops. It start it takes a village ideas, yeah vs, so I'd be de inflammatory bow disease is structural like there's something structurally wrong with your intestines. Like you said, the IP address is,
action all where they're just appear to be anything wrong: Army sister, there's not like a hole in it or something like that, but if it did not functioning properly at all, so you have a cramped and gas in the area near just thought. The whole nine in the apparently its response, distress, hormonal changes and by article which makes me think that if we had something to do with that healthy, beneficial bacteria colony in year interest near one, I think your brain is communicating with your intestines properly. But there are no, we don't know so. In the meantime, people with ideas have probably medicate doing you talk about seal. It will not go into the sea. How silly
these works webs com, some about gluten as it should and any gluten or some yeah given authorities colony yeah that goes into their own you'll. Learn all about Celia Annual here might now famous mistake about cases. Flageolets yeah, where's, Melissa, Jeffrey, says: fighting the digestive process produces gases We all know methane, of course. Also, though, hydrogen co2, and when the rectum senses that there's some gas in their taken up space sends a signal to the brain, the sphincter, relaxes and outcomes. Thank you.
And what is normal, normal, something like three pints aghast per day that built up and then released in ten to twenty five instances a day in criminal law. But I dont think I I shoot ducks that often we should keep count was so tomorrow start first thing in the morning, but you gotta get we should keep gave you may like stay up all night, though in Vienna is its summoned. Some stuff happens where your sleep. I am an added. Or set up a microphone or smell a meter. Cynthia was millimeter. Adieu is attached to my chest. Shocks me every time it senses something constipation, something actually I've never been afflicted with. That's good man, that's good! That's what they call a reprieve. It is.
Constipation is pretty straightforward functionally. It just means that your intestines not moving very fast do you remember when you are in your lower intestine, especially in the coal, in the the Time or whatever it's called. By that time, the waste is being stripped of water insults. And it's amazing how long the right, but also to recycle that stuff and if it, if it season there too long, it can become dry and hard and difficult pass. Your hard proof constipation a term than our household, our group and the heat of the sun, so growth and an opposite diarrhea,
It is just that it well, it is the opposite him. You haven't overactive lower intestine near.
