There are also periods when there is little or no horizontal motion of the water; this is called slack water. Many professional and recreational users of tide and tidal current information have a rule of thumb to assume a relationship between the times of high/low tides and the times of the currents.
However, everyoneâs bowels are unique to them, and whatâs normal for one person may not be normal for another. You can have a bowel movement anywhere from one to three times a day at the most, or three times a week at the least, and still be considered regular, as long as thatâs your usual pattern.
It's not a medical concept, but a myth that you've got to move your bowels each day to be healthy. In fact, as far back as 1909, the British physiologist Sir Arthur Hurst said it wasn't unusual to find healthy people who had a bowel movement three times a day or once every three days. Today, that's still the range that's considered normal.. But many perfectly healthy people don't even fall within this broad range. He also described a patient who relieved himself 12 times a day. Both patients seemed perfectly content with their bowel habits. The truth is that everyone experiences variations in how often they move their bowels.
