"""" Stanford University has revealed a
new study that shows squatting is
the proper and recommended way to
go to the bathroom. What's more
astonishing is that this study isn't
new. According to Henry L. Bockus in
Gastroenterology, the standard
textbook on the subject:
"The ideal posture for defecation is
the squatting position, with the
thighs flexed upon the abdomen. In
this way the capacity of the
abdominal cavity is greatly
diminished and intra-abdominal
pressure increased, thus encouraging
expulsion ...".
quote:
The reason is because of the
puborectalis muscle.
This muscle acts as a sling for your
rectum and maintains continence.
When we sit down on the toilet, the
hold on the rectum is loosened, but
only partially. In a squatting posture,
the hold is completely relaxed,
allowing for an easier release of your
bowel.""""......
