Improve The Ease of Your Bowel MovementsBowel movements are probably low on most people’s list of topics they like to discuss, but it’s an important one nonetheless and not only can your poop tell you a lot about your health, how you go can have a significant impact too. The puborectalis muscle creates a natural kink to help maintain continence. Squatty Potty relaxes this muscle for fast, easy elimination. Moreover, it helps us poop more efficiently and stay away from health problems such as constipation, hemorrhoids and colon disease and it puts us in the exact correct position for fast and easy elimination, with the comfort and convenience of our own toilet.

 

In researching the issue of constipation, studies have shown that raising your legs can be a mechanism to improve your bowel movements because this is relevant to the claimed colon-kinking anatomical issue. When you bear down on the toilet, you are performing what’s called a Valsalva maneuver; that means you are forcing expiration against either a closed glottis, or contracting strongly your thoracic and abdominal muscles increasing intra-abdominal pressure. However, similar changes can also occur when a person lifts a heavy weight while holding their breath and sitting in any squat-type position while bearing down is likely to increase that intra-abdominal pressure that is resulting in a more effortless bowel movement. Squatty Potty offers a very plausible mechanism to improve the ease of bowel movements.

Do you know that your position can affect the ease with which you eliminate, and doing it wrong may increase your risk of bowel and pelvic problems, including hemorrhoids, constipation, and more. The optimal elimination posture is a relaxed position as close as possible to a natural squat. Squatting becomes easier with continued use as your body adjusts to the new Squatty Potty toilet posture.
