Answers to your seven most pressing questions about poop
2. Are you pooping properly?
There’s proof that certain approaches to pooping are healthier than others. For example, in a lot of parts of the world, people don’t sit down to poop. They squat.
Although sitting sounds more comfortable (and a lot easier on your thighs), squatting may lead to more efficient pooping. In fact, a 2013 study found that squatting helped people poop quicker and made pooping feel easier. Straining or struggling to poop can lead to problems like rectal prolapse, vaginal varicose veins or even strokes. So, there are real advantages to simplifying the pooping process through squatting. If you’re interested in exploring the benefits of a squatting poop posture, check out a product called the squatty potty.
