The correct attitude on the toilet can have a big impact on your bowel movement. Although the squat is the ideal position, this is not always practical in our society. Fortunately there are ways to mimic this position:
- Feet up: Place your feet on an elevation, such as a step or footstool, so that your knees are higher than your hips. This mimics the squat and can promote the bowel movement.
- In the squat, the intestine is in a straight line, which makes it easier and completely'open'to the anal channel, according to Prof.Dr.Danny De Looze.
Other tips to promote smooth bowel movement include:
- High-fiber diet: Ensure enough fiber in your diet, because fibers are essential for healthy intestinal flora and promote good bowel movement.
- Drinking sufficient water: Hydration is important for good bowel function. Make sure you drink enough water during the day.
- Healthy lifestyle: In addition to the right toilet posture, a healthy lifestyle is essential for good bowel health. This includes regular exercise and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption and smoking.
By following these tips and taking the right attitude on the toilet, you can reduce the chance of problems such as constipation and promote smooth bowel movements.
