Description

The question asked in the title of today’s episode might seem a little strange. After all, we all sit the same way on the toilet, right? Straight up with our knees at a 90-degree angle. But in fact that might not be the best for our digestive system. 

Stomach doctors, also known as gastroenterologists, suggest that this position can actually make it harder to go. And that’s not the only reason why you may want to find a better alternative position. The right position can actually help prevent other issues like hemorrhoids or constipation.

What better options are there then? And how do you actually squat on a regular toilet? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
