Deep dives

Historical Context of Toilet Use

Historically, the toilet was a luxury reserved for nobility, creating a cultural idolization of their practices, such as using a toilet for comfort and cleanliness. This shift in toilet use has led to a modern health crisis, correlating the rise of colorectal issues with the way contemporary toilets are designed and utilized. The hustle culture prevalent today often means individuals rush when visiting the restroom, sometimes only doing so in emergencies, which neglects the body's natural needs. This neglect can lead to numerous health problems, including constipation and hemorrhoids.
