Watch out, Like to Lose on the Toilet for a Long Time Not Good for Health

Some people choose to use toilet seats instead of squat toilets that are considered healthier by health experts. Indeed, by using a toilet seat, we will not be easily exhausted given the position of our bowel movements tend to be more relaxed when compared to using a squat toilet that can make our feet become tingling or stiff. Unfortunately, the use of toilet seats has caused many people to be complacent, so that they will be able to linger by reading newspapers or even playing with gadgets while defecating. This turned out to be very bad for health.



Health experts say that the use of toilet seats is very different compared to squat toilets. In squat toilets, we will tend to flush the toilet immediately if there is already dirt released. Unlike the squat toilet, many people are waiting for this dirt to pile up and we just press the flush button to water it. Indeed, there are people who immediately press the flush button as soon as there is dirt coming out, however, often the power of weakened water on the next flush will make the dirt not be flushed perfectly.

Health experts say that if we linger on the toilet seat, there will be lots of bacteria in the dirt that accumulates. If we linger on the toilet because of playing gadgets, imagine how many germs that come from this dirt finally stick to the gadget we carry everywhere. Not only that, sitting for long periods of time during bowel movements can trigger stress in the anal area which ultimately makes us more susceptible to hemorrhoids, a condition in which the blood vessels around the anus swell or become inflamed and can cause problems with bowel movements. By lingering during bowel movements, we can also cause constipation which of course must be overcome by increasing fiber intake.
