MADid you know you can do a simple "beet test" to check your digestion? 🍽️
Here’s how: Eat 1 or 2 beetroot (raw, cooked, or juiced), then note the time. Watch for when your stool turns pink or reddish, and even pink urine. Beetroot contain a powerful red pigment (betacyanin) that naturally colors your poop or pee.
For healthy digestion, you should see a pinkish tint in your stool within 12-24 hours, indicating a smooth, well-formed bowel movement. If it appears in less than 8 hours, your transit time is too fast, often resulting in looser stools due to gut imbalance, stress, or mild food sensitivities.
If it takes longer than 48 hours, it points to constipation, likely due to dehydration, lack of fiber, or a gut imbalance.
Pink urine, known as beeturia, shows the pigment isn't being fully metabolized. This could mean leaky gut, low stomach acid, or poor iron absorption. While beeturia is harmless, it’s a sign your gut might need some extra care! 🌱
