Body Signs (11) - Stools Part3

LIGHT COLORED STOOLS

If your stools are light beige in color or have a yellow appearance it's a sign that you have difficulty digesting fatty foods. You are most likely deficient in essential fatty acids, the good fats.

Solutions:
1).Eat more foods with EFA to help you metabolize fats. Add fish, avacados, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds to your diet.

2). Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flax seed over your salads or veggies will also help normalize your stools.

FOOD IN YOU STOOLS

It is normal to find sweetcorn skin in your stools as the outer skin is fairly indigestible. If you find remnants of other foods, you may have a weak digestive system. Also you may not b chewing on your food enough. Chew your food thoroughly and remember that your stomach does not have any teeth.
