Caveat: extremely small sample size of 13 triathletes.
The latest research involved 13 triathletes, a cognitive test called the Stroop test, and a magnesium oxide laxative.
The result? The athletes performed measurably better on the cognitive test after voiding their large intestines, a finding that suggests an underexplored link between the rectum and cognitive function. This potential link has interesting implications, not just for peak performance, but for understanding cognitive decline.
No shit
Lol you telling me pinching one off is whats holding me back from high performance? My life is a lie
Apparently my pre workout has an added benefit, as it always makes me shit.
Probably better to use the restroom before your triathalon
It's kind of a wild hustle to do it while running.
I always make sure to unload before I bulk up every time
The gut is our second brain (some even argue it's more important than the brain for cognitive/mental... performance).
This is interesting.
No wonder I always feel better after dropping a load.
