Healthy Posture to Toilet: Squat not Sit
Squatting is a healthier way to go according to various researchers. On August 26, the online magazine Slate provided a review of the health benefits of squatting that include shorter potty time, “‘complete evacuation’ of the colon, ridding our bowel of disease-causing toxins,” and hemorrhoid prevention.

Believe it or not, the current toilet seat is a comparatively new invention. It was developed in the Industrial revolution by people who thought it was more ‘dignified’ to sit on a ‘throne’ than the way the natives did.
However, many doctors at the time were worried about this causing health problems because it went against nature. But in Victorian England where even table legs were covered with long table-cloths because they suggested legs (which were called only “limbs”) it was considered very improper to discuss such things.
If you have ever felt, as many, many people do, that after you have evacuated, there is still something left, here is the reason:
The anal canal is UNSTRAIGHTENED when seated. Bowel evacuation when seated results frequently in OBSTRUCTIVE CONSTIPATION.
Adopt a relaxed, FULL SQUAT POSTURE and the anal canal STRAIGHTENS
This obviously can help constipation. Months later other health improvements can happen, due to your body being free of extra toxins. Also, bladder function may improve after several months because of an improved pelvic floor nerve supply.
