YOU ARE DOING IT WRONGLY. This Is The Proper Way To Poop. by Eberex(m): 9:50am On May 08, 2015
You might be pooping wrongly! moreover, Western Civilization has been pooping wrong for generations. According to Scientists at the Stanford University Pelvic Floor Clinic, our bodies are designed for squatting and not sitting. If you look at the history of bathroom habits, it all makes sense.

Did you know that appendicitis, colon cancer, inflammatory bowel diseases, Hernias, diverticulitis, and hemorrhoids all may be caused by improper fecal elimination.

In a 2003 study, researches observed 28 people pooping in three different positions: sitting on a lower one, sitting on a high toilet, and squatting. The researches found that pooping took about a minute less when done squatting and it was much easier to do.

There is definitely physiological sense to squatting, says gastroenterologist Anish Shelth, MD co-author of the books ''what's your poo telling you''?''and what's my pee telling me?'' Simply put, it straightens out the colon.

According to everdayhealth, when we are standing, the colon (where waste is stored) gets pushed up against the puborecatlis muscles, which keeps fecal continence until its time to hit the bathroom. Sitting down only partially relaxes that muscle . Squatting fully relaxes it, essentially straightening out the colon. That in turn, eases the elimination pooping process. According to Bockus's gastroenterology, a standard medical text from 1964, ''i deal posture for defecation is the squatting position, with the thighs fixed upon the abdomen". And this is the way our ancestors eliminated daily until the middle of the 19th century.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF SQUATTING:

1. Makes elimination faster and easier
2.Prevents stagnation of waste which can lead to colon cancer
3.Prevents waste from entering into and contaminating the small intestine.
4.Protects the pelvic floor and also pelvic nerves responsible for prostrate health, bladder control and sexuality.
5. Protects the nerve that control the prostrate, bladder and uterus from becoming stretched and damaged.
6.For pregnant women, squatting helps with a natural delivery. Squatting avoids pressure on the uterus when using the toilet.
