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.
Normal bowel habits vary. When we talk about regularity, what we're really talking about is what's regular for you. Three bowel movements per day to three per week is considered the normal range. What's more important than frequency is the ease with which you move your bowels. If you need to push or strain, something is off â moving your bowels should take no more effort than urinating or passing gas. The thing to watch for is a sudden change in your bowel habits.
