Apparently THIS Is What Your Poop Is Telling You About Your General Health!
There is a quick and easy way to gain insight into your overall general health. All you have to do is glance in the toilet after you go number two. Doctors and scientists have uncovered a lot of great information on what the color and consistency of poo can reveal about what’s going on inside our bodies. In particular, it can help us know whether our digestive system and gastrointestinal tract are functioning normally, or if there may be a problem.
First, it’s best to be familiar with what exactly poop is. Basically, it’s what’s left of the food you eat after it has been broken down and digested. After your body has taken and absorbed all of the nutrients it needs from that food, the remainder passes through and ends up being expelled as waste.
This waste is composed of bacteria, undigested food, dead cells, and mucus, which explains why it smells bad. Normal aspects of number 2 include going on average 1-2 times/day, but some people go more frequently and others less. As long as you’re comfortable when you go to the bathroom, it’s fine. Also, a healthy poop should slowly sink to the bottom of the toilet bowl, no floaters!
By monitoring toilet activities you can pick up on any changes or abnormal occurrences in your health. This helps you to be more aware of any potential issues going on inside you that are causing your body movements to suddenly look different. The chart below and video goes over all the various textures and shapes of poop, and sums up what each type most likely means.
The ideal excrement that a healthy body makes is sausage-shaped, smooth, and soft. It’s also borderline normal if your poop is sausage-shaped but contains cracks all over it. The cracks are a sign that your body needs more water, so up your daily intake soon before you get constipated or develop diarrhea!
In addition to texture and shape, color is also a helpful factor in terms of what your poo is telling you about your health. Everyone knows brown is the main color of poop, but it also means your movement is normal. A greenish hue may be diet related and can occur when you eat lots of leafy green vegetables, or it’s caused by food moving too quickly though the large intestine.
However, if you ever see red blood stained poo see a doctor as soon as possible because it may be a symptom of cancer. Once you’re familiar with what’s normal it’s much easier to spot any potential issues or irregularities.
So do your body a favor and familiarize yourself with this chart, and don’t forget to pass it along to family and friends as well. The more everyone knows, the better! Also check WATCH the video below for more information.

This Baby Almost Died Because She Was Kissed. The Reason Is So Scary!
The information contained in this video could save the lives of countless children around the world. If you know anyone with an infant or happen to be a parent yourself, you will be shocked to find out what happened to poor little Brooke when she was kissed by a stranger.
There was nothing about the stranger’s physical appearance that would have indicated a possible infection, and his skin and lips were clean and clear. But there was an unwelcome guest hiding just beneath the surface. It was the herpes virus, and it was able to leap from its host to Brooke, quickly overwhelming her fledgling immune system.
At her young age, her body hadn’t had the time required to build defences strong enough to fight such a powerful foe. The virus does not launch the full attack right away, but can sometimes remain in the system for months after the initial exposure before it wages war on the body.
Fortunately, after receiving excellent care at a local hospital, Brooke made a full recovery and is now happily back at home. Unfortunately, the virus will never leave her system, and she will have herpes for the rest of her life. Please pass this on to all your friends and family so that babies everywhere can be kept safe from this potential threat.

Her Dog Died 2 Days After She Gave Him A New Toy. This Is Something Every Dog Owner Needs To Read
Dog owners everywhere need to be aware and on the lookout for a potentially dangerous toy that has already been linked to the death of at least one dog. Recent posts on social media have brought attention to certain toys that have a hole in one side of them. Dogs tongues can become trapped in the hole because it creates a vacuum effect that sucks their tongues in.
When the toy is yanked and pulled on, to try and remove it, the tension becomes tighter since there is no second hole that would relieve the pressure. The dogs who were injured from these toys had to be brought to the vet to receive emergency care and have the balls removed.
In one case a Rottweiler named Maximus ended up passing away from complications related to a Kong brand ball toy that suctioned to his tongue. His heartbroken owner, Jamie Stumpf, took to Facebook on August 19 writing, “The Vet hopes the tissue does not die in the amount that would require removal of the tissue. I will not choose to allow a major portion to be taken. It’s not in his best interests.” Sadly, just one day later, Maximus died.
The exact same toy related issue popped up again the very next day on August 20 when Vergi 24/7 posted a photo of a dog named Rooney with his tongue stuck in a ball. Vets at the Houston, Texas emergency animal hospital sedated the dog and used a needle to carefully release the suction. Only after all that and sustained effort did they finally get the ball off.
While the Kong toy called “The Beast” has specifically been named as the brand and type of toy that caused these dog’s injuries (and has only one hole) there are countless others on the market sold by different retailers and brands. ANY toy that has a single hole opening can create a suction that can lead to an animal getting their tongue trapped in it.
Please take a moment to inspect your pets toys, and in the future examine any new ones you pick up as well. If you happen to have a toy with only one entry point, and no secondary hole anywhere else, either dispose of it right away or modify it. You can drill a hole in the other end to take away it’s ability to hold a suction, and thus make it safer.

THIS Is How Pickpockets Use New Technology To Rob You Without Even Getting Inside Your Pocket
Thieves are constantly evolving their methods and finding different ways to steal from unsuspecting victims. The modern way in which a pickpocket can rip you off is completely hands off and they don’t even have to reach into your purse or pocket to steal from you. The latest tool in a fraudsters bag of dirty tricks takes advantage of the newest forms of technology.
It’s called wireless identity theft, or RFID identity theft, and it’s done by using wireless radio frequency mechanics. If you have a credit card that has the radio frequency symbol located on it (see video), it means that it’s RFID enabled. All you have to do is wave the card near a scanner to instantly pay for a purchase and complete a transaction, but this convenience comes with increased risks.
It takes just seconds to steal. All a thief has to do is wave a hidden credit card reader, like the ones businesses commonly use, near where they suspect your card is located on your person. The card reader picks up personal information that is stored on the card’s radio frequency identification chip, then all of that encoded information is harvested.
Thieves take this data, which can include a card holder’s name, address, phone and social security number, and other account information, and use it to make unauthorized purchases, or worse. They can steal your identity and even clone card information onto their own cards, so they essentially have a copy of a stolen card that works just like the original.
This type of crime is virtually untraceable and victims have no idea they’re being ripped off until it’s too late. Credit card companies claim that consumer cards are secure and have several built in security features which include protection of the holder’s name and address.
But the journalist investigating found this not to be true. With a co-worker’s permission he electronically pick pocketed their credit card, went online shopping, and used a fake name and address to order a sweatshirt from L.L. Bean which later arrived in the mail. The transaction wasn’t flagged and the credit card company never picked up on it as potentially fraudulent, despite the fact that a fake name and address were used.
There are ways to protect your information, carry a RFID blocking card in your wallet, or request a card that is not RFID enabled. If people are aware of the risks their cards pose they can better protect themselves and possibly avoid the hassle and headache that comes with having a credit card stolen and financial security compromised.

If You Notice A Black Line On Your Nail Or Someone Else’s It Means THIS
Hands are possibly the most used human body part of all and because of that they often end up taking quite a beating. Day after day we wash them over and over, sometimes things get smashed into them, and other times we jam them into places like doors and tight cracks!
This inevitably leads to other parts of our hands sustaining damage, especially our nails. When our finger nails sustain trauma they usually turn black or blue from bruising or blood trapped under the nail. However, if you notice a dark spot on your nail, that suddenly appears out of no where and for no apparent reason, you should get it checked out immediately because it may be skin cancer.
That was the case when Melanie Williams went to the doctor to have an odd black spot on her thumb examined. She initially brushed it off as a wart or possible fungal infection but decided to have it looked at just to be safe. About two weeks after it first appeared she went to her doctor, and it’s a good thing she did.
It turned out to be nail cancer, or more specifically melanoma which is a type of skin cancer, and it had to be removed as soon as possible to prevent the cancer from spreading to other parts of her body. She ended up having surgery and lost half of her thumb, but she was lucky that she caught it in time before it got much worse. She shared her story with the world in order to bring increased attention to the subject that not many people are aware of.
There are several things you can look out for, but if you ever suspect you may have nail cancer it’s crucial that you have a doctor check it out right away. Generally speaking, the most commonly affected nails are the thumb and index finger on hands and the big toe on feet. It was also noted in the video that nail cancer is most prevalent in African Americans.
The warning signs to look for include whether or not the stripe is very dark and if it has blurred borders. Also, changes in the appearance of the stripe matter and the patient’s history always comes into play, especially if cancer runs in the family.
When it comes to treating nail cancer, the stage it has reached matters most in determining how much skin, nail, or finger needs to be removed. For less advanced types the skin and nail around the spot is removed, while more advanced cancers often require the complete surgical amputation of fingers.
While most dark spots and stripes on nails are not cancer, it’s always good to be aware of the possibility that one strange, bothersome spot could potentially turn out to be just that. As with other types of cancer, the sooner it’s detected the better the chances for beating and being cured of it. Please pass this information on to friends and share it with family to help spread nail cancer awareness.
