There was a time when it seemed like EVERY American was doing Wordle . . . while sitting on the toilet. And apparently, that is NOT gross . . . it's a WINNING STRATEGY.
A new study has found that people perform better on cognitive tests when they have pooped just beforehand.
The study looked at both athletic performance where quick decision-making is necessary . . . and straightforward brain teasers, like being shown flashcards with the word "red" written in green ink, and being asked to quickly name the color.
It was a small-scale study, but 100% of the participants performed better after having a laxative-induced bowel movement, and most of them did better after having a natural Number Two.
The researchers believe "pooping gives your body more energy to spend on cognition and exercise intensity." And they recommend pooping 60 to 90 minutes before a big event for better, faster, and smarter decision-making.
So bosses: Maybe you should ENCOURAGE employees to hit the bathroom at work . . . right after clocking in.
