thanks....Rango... now is the red like meat stripes in the meat, or veins? I sure love catfish nuggets. Ate about a 4 pound channel cat the other evening, I stumbled on crappie fishing... it was some kind of good. I just fillet it like a crappie and took the skin off the same way. But I don't recall any red meat...I guess I didn't know to look for it.
The residue is excreted through the bowels, normally within a day or two. Depending on your diet, age, and daily activity, regularity can mean anything from three bowel movements a day to three each week. If fecal material sits in the colon, the harder the stool becomes and the more difficult it is to pass.
Hippocrates thought bowel movements should ideally be two or three times a day, which is what you see in populations on traditional plant-based diets, on the kind of fiber intakes you see in our fellow great apes, and what may be more representative of the type of diets we evolved eating.
