BMs, or bowel movements, refer to the process of expelling waste from the digestive system. This process is a natural part of human physiology and typically occurs several times a week. The consistency, color, and frequency of BMs can vary based on diet, hydration, and overall health. Healthy BMs are usually brown in color and have a soft, formed consistency. Factors such as diet, hydration, and exercise can influence bowel health. If someone experiences significant changes in their BMs, it may be a sign to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
