Time To Poop

Today's Medical Monday comes from a book called Moon Time: The Art of Harmony with Nature and Lunar Cycles, by Johanna Paungger and Thomas Poppe. This is how the book says to get rid of constipation. In the morning, before you get out of bed, lay on your back and lift your right knee up and pull it toward your chest. Hold it like that for one minute, then do the same thing with your left knee, and then pull up both knees for a minute. This is supposed to stimulate your intestines to start moving the food down and out.

As always, I don't guarantee this will work any better than carrying a rabbit's foot or just jumping up and down vigorously.
