What helps digestion after eating?
Turns out our bathroom posture may be causing more problems that we
realize. There is increasing research (and age old
evidence) that squatting to use the bathroom is not only more efficient and
more natural, but also helps avoid common digestive disturbances (and even bigger
problems like hemorrhoids. To fix this problem, it seems we simply need to adopt a more
natural squatting position instead of the sitting position many of us use
today. While squatting on the actual toilet seat is one solution, I personally
don’t recommend it if you are pregnant, have balance issues, or simply aren’t
already a very strong squatter. At our house, we have a Squatty
Potty in each bathroom as a simple way to improve bathroom posture (and a
great random conversation starter with visitors!). If adding a piece of
bathroom furniture isn’t your thing, a couple of small upside-down buckets or a
regular stool will work almost as well.
