According to studies, the proper position for emptying your bowels is to squat.
Squatting is how man would have relieved himself as a caveman.
As man civilized, even rough holes in the ground for latrines began to include a board to sit on for comfort.
But that comfort is leading to humans retaining the fecal matter and not fully emptying the bowels.
This can lead to straining, constipation, and strain on the rectal sphincter.
By squatting, we straighten out that bend in the bowels so that gravity is helping us to expel fecal matter.
This leads to a more complete emptying of the bowels and without straining.
