My grandmother had bowel cancer. One of my staff died at the age of 19 from bowel cancer. I know many others who have had bowel cancer.
My own personal health history has been affected by gut issues most of my life so a Healthy Bowel is always top of my list healthwise.
Move Your Butt is all about getting active in June (and hopefully beyond!).

elime to take notice of your movements (and I'm not talking about activity). Yes it's a bit of a taboo subject BUT a very imprtant aspect of looking after your health is taking a decent look at what's in the toilet bowl after a bowle movement.  Use this handy chart to assess the quality of your output:

​Bristol Stool Chart here 
You can print out this chart & use it to educate yourself, your family, and your friends!

As above but with more information to explain what your ideal poop looks like.

Last year I started a Strava Club for nourishe - you can check this weeks stats below!​

 ​Tips to keep you moving!

​1. Get started. Don’t think of the exercise, just focus on getting started.  Put one foot in front the other, get dressed, put your shoes on and head out the door. Once you get going you’ll warm up and start to feel better.
2. Back yourself. You’ve done a great thing signing up for the challenge – feel proud and it will make moving even easier.
3. Don’t expect to be perfect. It’s unrealistic to think you’re going to feel ready, prepared and positive each time you set out to prepare for your challenge. Most of the time I feel quite the opposite. It’s fine to have off days and more important to keep doing it!
4. Keep focused. Most people doing the Challenge have been affected by bowel cancer in some way or another.  Keep thinking of why you’ve signed up on those cold mornings and remember, you’re making a difference!
