Hi there! My name is Jason, and today I want to share and explain to you how sitting on a normal standard toilet seat when having number 2’s has now been proven to not be the best posture when taking a crap.
Experts have claimed that when taking a dump, squatting position is more natural and can help avoid colon disease, constipation, hemorrhoids, pelvic floor issues, and similar ailments.
One of the best devices we have found to work really well is a bidet toilet seat if you suffer from hemorrhoids. Trust me when I say washing is a far pleasant feeling over paper when you have a grape hanging out
Kids of younger age already know this. Have you ever wondered why they squat down when they’re just about to soil their diaper?
It’s all got to do with the angle.
When we sit on the thrown our insides get kinked and restrict the flow of our movements. See the diagram to the left.
When this happens were forced to push harder, and if we push too hard we can do more harm then good. Things like pop a blood vessel, hemorrhoids.
Trust me you don’t want them. They are painful and not the most comfortable thing you want to have hanging out of you that’s for sure.
Anyhoo sorry for getting sidetracked.
The basic idea is that the angle makes all the difference when it comes to taking a dump.
When we sit down on the toilet this puts a kink in the system which then creates upward pressure on the rectum and makes it harder to get the poo out.
The upward pressure also makes you strain more to eliminate the stool.
When you’re squatting it corrects this angle and removes the kink to let poo flow more naturally.
The squat position is a more natural way to achieve easier and more complete empty of poo.
Research has shown that in some people, the kink is completely gone while using a squatting toilet.
For all these years in the western worlds, we’ve been sitting on our thrown’s being king of the dump our entire life and have probably never thought to question this practice.
It turns out that modern toilets that are designed to be more comfortable may actually be contributing to some uncomfortable problems, including:
1. Constipation
Let’s face it: most of us aren’t eating the recommended amount of vegetables. The most common cause of constipation is poor diet and not enough exercise.
Most of us aren’t drinking enough water either. These two things along with improper toilet posture create hard, dry poo that’s as you know very hard to push out.
2. Hemorrhoids
Several factors contribute to the development of hemorrhoids. Straining when having a crap doesn’t help especially if you’re constipated.
Increased blood flow of pregnancy creates this uncomfortable problem for many women.
Hemorrhoids are inflamed anal varicose veins that have swollen because of our need to push excessively to get those hard stools to pass. They can be exceptionally painful.
3. Colon Disease
Making sure you empty out completely and often helps maintain good colon health. Studies have shown that feces buildup in the colon can cause diseases, including colon cancer.
When there’s a buildup in the colon, your body can’t absorb all the nutrients from the food you eat, leaving you lethargic and lack of energy you could enjoy if your colon were healthy.
4. Urinary Difficulty/Infections
Urinary flow is usually stronger and easier when women squat to urinate. The bladder is emptied more completely when squatting rather than sitting or “hovering”.
Squatting can help reduce episodes of urinary tract infections in both frequency and intensity.
My wife found during her last pregnancy that using the Squatty Potty to help her squat during urination reduced the need to urinate as often.
I’m a type 2 diabetic and I’ve now learned to sit and squat more often now using our squatty potty when taking a pee. I have to agree with her. It does feel like I’m emptying more out then when standing. From a guys point of view
5. Pelvic Floor Issues
One of the main causes of pelvic floor issues is straining on the toilet.
The normal way of sitting on the toilet can cause great amounts of pressure on the anorectal angle of the colon causing the lower part of the colon to drop and protrude into the wall of the vagina.
This puts pressure on the pelvic floor and can create unnecessary strain.
