Good Poop

One of my new year resolutions was to add more vegetables to my starchy grain based food. I'm not sure if my reason is correct but this is what I think. 

When you eat bread, rice or pasta, the food turns into a liquid while it is in your stomach, then when it reaches your intestines, the gluten sugars quickly pass through the walls of your gut and into your blood. Then your pancreas releases large amounts of insulin to make your fat cells absorb the sugars. Then within two hours, everything is finished and you feel tired because the nutrients surged into your blood in a short space of time and suddenly there is nothing. 

I imagined that fragments of vegetables in the food would come between the starch and walls of your guts and get in the way of absorbtion so instead of taking 2 hours, it takes 5 hours for the gluten sugars to pass through. 

You still absorb all the glutens but it is spread out over a longer time and your muscles can use it straight away. The vegetables act like fibre and remain solid all the way through so it makes the stool less sticky. You absorb nutrients from the vegetables as well but most of it passes all the way through. Sometimes I eat enough vegetables to make my poop turn green. I will have less sticky slobs for poop and more fibrous firm stools. Perhaps all my poop will be green one day. 

This is the way I think at the moment. I'm not 100% sure it is the truth. 

New Year Resolution

My new year resolution is straightforward. Just four little things. 

Play More computer Games because life is very short. 

Pray more because God brings love, joy and peace. 

Watch more television because I overthink and get stressed.

Add Vegetables to my food. Most of the food I eat is starchy food like bread, rice and Pasta. Those foods turn into a ball of liquid while they're still in the stomach, then when they get into my intestines the gluten sugars pass through quickly so my pancreas has to make a lot of insulin. 

If vegetables are mixed with the starchy food, they can't pass sugars into my blood quickly because the vegetables get in the way and they act as fibre, especially sweetcorn. If I eat 400grams of pasta with vegetables, the pasta is spread out.
