What happens when we sit and poop?
Irrespective of pooping with our rear in a 90 degrees angle or bending forward a bit, the posture creates tension and strain to our rectum. The muscle named puborectalis presses our rectum in order to balance out the continence when we sit erect and poop. This wrong posture thus causes damage to our rectum which plays a most important role in our physical body.
Research reveal that pooping in a sitting posture can cause many health problems including Hemorrhoids, diseases pertaining to bowel, Diverticulitis and Colon Cancer. Such diseases or ailments are caused due to the pressure our Rectum experiences while pooping sitting straight on western type commodes.
