Have you heard of the Beet Test?
It's a simple way to see how your well your digestion and elimination systems are working. Transient time is the time that it takes one to completely digest and eliminate a meal; the time it takes to go from first bite to bowel movement. Transit time can be calculated by eating beets! Eat some beets and then watch and wait. Within a day or two, your stool should have turned a pink/purple/light red color. Ideally, transit time should be within 24-48 hours. Any longer means means your digestion and elimination systems are sluggish.
so simple! love it!
ReplyDeletebut wouldn't transient time always be changing? Say you had more fibre that one day...? or less? or say you have a certain food that makes digestion happen very fast (like lettuce for some people). So would you measure transient time a few times and take the average?
