Today’s tip is meant to improve your digestive system. I’m sure you’ve never thought of it because it has nothing to do with food and everything to do with your toilet!
In fact it has more to do with the old-style squat toilet in the floor.
Squat toilets have a lot of benefits. Mainly, that the digestive system and colon are partly closed when we’re standing up. But when we lift our knees up the muscle that usually shuts the large intestines opens. And that makes defecation easier and helps empty out all the contents of the colon properly.
When you sit on a regular toilet, this muscle opens halfway only and with time the toxins accumulate in the colon and could cause side-effects such as constipation and its consequences.
But who has a squat toilet in their house today? Squat toilets are almost extinct!
The solution is easy and effective. All you have to do is put a small step stool in front of your toilet to put your feet on when you’re sitting on the toilet. This step stool will elevate your feet and bend your knees, which will give the same effect as the squat toilet. You have to try it to believe it.
The digestive system is the key to health, so make sure it works well.
