11 Nov How do you do a number 2?

This may seem like a very strange and rather personal question but it is an important one and is one that could seriously affect your health, believe it or not.

The invention of the sit up toilet many years ago was, at the time, an absolute godsend, toilet habits were pretty grim in those days so it was certainly much more hygienic than just doing it where you stood, which they actually did!

Anyway that aside, the toilet was a fantastic invention but it isn’t as healthy as you may think. Basically we are designed to squat when we eliminate. Sitting is just not the right way to do it and can have a serious affect on the benefits of a thorough elimination!

Since the sit up toilet has been invented there have been far more cases of constipation, haemorrhoids, colitis and colon cancer and who wants any of those?

I’m not suggesting you to do away with your toilet, there is a perfectly good solution. A stack of magazines can work well, although is a bit of a pain, a small stool (excuse the choice of words), like the ones kids use when they are too small to reach the loo and sink or there’s the Squatty Potty of which I am a proud owner! Click to visit their website, it will explain it all in much more detail with diagrams and everything!

It all makes perfect sense to me, so get squatting, you’ll never look back!
