According To Science, You've Probably Been Pooping Wrong Your Whole Life
Stool, feces, excrement, dung and even poop. It doesn't matter what you call it, you're doing it every day (I hope) and you're probably doing it wrong. It turns out that all the countries that have fancy, sit-down toilets aren't allowing the... uh... When we stand up or sit down, there's a kink in our lower gut that stops us pooping at random. Sitting down to poop means that the muscles in the gut have to strain to push excrement around the bend in the bowels. This isn't just a harmless observation; nature designed us to squat when we poop. "1.2 billion people around the world who squat have almost no incidence of diverticulosis and fewer problems with piles. This revelation isn't new; in fact, a study in 2003 by Israeli doctor Dov Sikirov concluded that squatting to poop was the 'most satisfactory.' The paper also noted that sitting necessitated "excessive expulsive effort" to shift biowaste, whereas squatting was a comparatively carefree exercise.
