You've Been Pooping Wrong Your Entire Life.. And You Don't Even Know It!

#1 Pooping wrong?

You're probably going through your mind thinking of your past bathroom experiences, wondering where you possibly went wrong.

#2 Well it turns out, if you're part of Western civilization, it's most likely that you aren't doing your business in the proper manner.

#3 WOW

Scientists from the Pelvic Floor Clinic, at Stanford University, are saying that our bodies are created in such way that makes it more natural for it to squat while we poop, rather than to sit.

#4 Wow i never knew this

Sitting on the toilet does not allow for the colon to be in the proper position, and can cause hernias, inflammatory bowel disease, colon cancer, diverticulosis, and hemorrhoids.

#5 In a 2003 study, the researchers divided random subjects into three groups, each a different position, and studied the outcomes of their bathroom experiences.

#6 The first group was sat on a lower toilet, the second group sat on a higher toilet, and the third group squatted.

#7 When we stand, the colon is strapped against the puborectalis muscles but squatting allows those muscles to fully relax, providing the most natural position for pooping.

#8 This theory is confirmed

This theory is confirmed by the standard medical text, Bockus's Gastroenterology, from 1964, which says that the squatting position is the perfect posture for defecation and the thighs need to be fixed upon your abdomen.

#9 If you're interested in changing your bathroom routine, there's a product that will help you do so with ease.
