On the other hand, for example, when the stool temperature is low, fermentation by intestinal bacteria in the intestine is expected to be inactive. Evaluate no. If the stool temperature is high, the intestinal environment of the person who defecate is good. The amount of predetermined short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) produced in the body is high, and the amount of SCFA in the stool is high.
- SCFA short-chain fatty acids
- Metabolites such as acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid in the intestine are produced when intestinal bacteria eat undigested dietary fiber, etc., and affect cells around the intestinal tract. It is suitable for evaluating the state of the intestinal environment because it circulates throughout the body through the blood, including the In situations where these SCFAs are produced in large amounts, it is expected that heat release due to active intestinal fermentation will increase, and as a result, it is thought that the temperature of the stool will be high.
- Predetermined evaluation criteria can be set for the criteria.
- different predetermined evaluation criteria can be set for each SCFA (acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, etc.). It can also be set based on the relevance to, etc.
- the health condition of the defecation human is evaluated based on the intestinal environment evaluation results obtained in step 102 and predetermined evaluation criteria. For example, it is expected that a person who has a high stool temperature and a favorable intestinal environment after defecation is in good health. In other words, the higher the stool temperature, the better the health condition of the person. On the other hand, for example, it is expected that a person whose stool temperature is low and whose intestinal environment is not good after defecation is not in good health. In other words, a person with a lower stool temperature is evaluated as being in a less favorable state of health.
- the stool temperature is high may be, for example, a case where it is higher than a predetermined reference value.
- the “predetermined reference value” may be, for example, around 37° C., which is slightly higher than the body temperature, or may be a reference value set based on the past stool temperature of the same individual.
- step 104 based on the evaluation result of the health condition of the person obtained in step 103 and the predetermined evaluation criteria, a health improvement method suitable for the person who defecate is proposed. For example, for a person who has a high stool temperature and is evaluated to be in good health, it is proposed to maintain the current diet and lifestyle. On the other hand, for example, for a person whose stool temperature is low and whose health condition is evaluated as not good, for example, suitable meals and lifestyle habits are proposed according to the degree of evaluation. The suggestion may be made by displaying it on the display means of the terminal 1, or it may be a method of calling attention by sounding an alert by the warning means of the terminal 1, or the like.

- the intestinal environment and health condition may be evaluated by measuring the temperature of the stool each time a person defecates and following changes over time. Health status may also be evaluated based on the relationship between body temperature and stool temperature. In this case, for example, the intestinal environment and health condition of a person who has defecated may be evaluated from the difference between the surface temperature and core temperature of the stool or the rate of decrease in the temperature of the stool, and the temperature of the stool is measured periodically. , by following the change, the effect of the proposed improvement method may be verified.

It is also important to provide a mechanism that does not erroneously measure the temperature of urine and farts, which are often excreted with feces. For example, it is possible to provide a mechanism that measures the moving speed of excrement, the contour of fluid, etc., and accurately measures the temperature of feces instead of urine or farts. Alternatively, it is possible to provide a mechanism for accurately measuring the temperature of feces by measuring the temperature of urine and farts and comparing the temperature with the temperature of feces. Thus, defecation can also be detected by measuring the temperature of the space where excrement of the target animal can be excreted and evaluating the presence or absence of defecation based on the obtained results.
