You go through life learning the correct and incorrect way to do things, but there is one simple process that almost every person was taught wrong. Pooping is actually done incorrectly by the majority of people in modern day households, and it may even be the reason for other bodily discomfort you may be experiencing. Changing the way you poop can even relieve stress on your body. Learn how you should be pooping here...

Your toilet is a major part of the problem.

Scientists have discovered that pooping in a sitting position, as you would on a traditional toilet, actually puts unneeded stress on your rectum, and restricts your anal canal. You should really be pooping in a squatting position allowing your rectum and remain straight, and your anal cavity to be relaxed as well.

Over time pooping in a sitting position can lead to some pretty serious health conditions. It can cause problems such as hemorrhoids and hernias because of the unnecessary strain it causes. More seriously it can lead to conditions including inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer.

A possible solution.

While getting a shorter toilet might slightly help, but there is a better way. It is recommended that you have your feet at a 35 degree angle while pooping to simulate squatting. There is a device called the squatty potty, that is made to fix your improper pooping problems.

It works by elevating your feet to that much needed 35 degree angle, which helps to improve your posture. This results in being able to poop in a squatting position, like nature intended, while being able to rest in a comfortable sitting position on your luxurious toilet in the comfort of your own home.
