Optimal Pooping Posture for Health Benefits
Using a squatty potty to change the angle of pooping by raising the knees above the hips and leaning slightly forward can provide positive benefits. Research shows that squatting instead of sitting can be more effective for bowel movements. Studies have indicated that there is an optimal angle for pooping, which can be achieved by mimicking the posture of squatting. Individuals in countries where squatting is the norm have lower instances of constipation and hemorrhoid issues, implying a potential health benefit from using squatting positions during bowel movements.
