A toilet used by squatting, rather than sitting, is called a squat toilet. An Indian style squat toilet takes a little time getting used to, but actually they are much more hygienically better. They all consist essentially of a hole in the ground with the exception of a pedestal squat toilet which is normally of the same height of a sitting toilet. Below mentioned are some of the benefits of using a squat toilet:-
- Squatting helps to excrete completely. Squatting prevents constipation because the weight of the torso presses against the thighs and naturally compresses the colon. Gentle pressure from the diaphragm supplements the force of gravity. Squatting makes elimination faster, easier and more complete. This helps prevent faecal stagnation which is a prime factor in colon cancer, appendicitis and inflammatory bowel disease.
- The squatting system of toilets provides better sanitary requirements; there are health benefits of the squatting positions of defecation or toileting. It is a known fact that the sitting defecation posture requires more effort compared to the squatting posture.
- The best normal defecation position is squatting posture allowing smooth bowel removal.
- Squatting protects the nerves that control the prostate, bladder and uterus from becoming stretched and damaged.
- Squatting relaxes the puborectalis muscle which normally chokes the rectum in order to maintain continence.
- Squatting avoids pressure on the uterus for the pregnant women when using the toilet. Daily squatting helps prepare one for a more natural delivery.
- The squatting position has always been used by humans for elimination and this is the way the human body is designed to function. The sitting position would make elimination difficult and incomplete, and forces one to strain to strain oneself.
Today, many physicians blame the modern toilet for the high incidence of a number of serious ailments. In the squatting posture, the right thigh squeezes the cecum from its base. Its contents are thoroughly expelled into the ascending colon, where peristalsis carries them away. There is no need to hold one’s breathe or push downwards, since the posture generates the pressure automatically. The squatting type of toilet is more conducive to complete evacuation. Colon hygiene depends on the effectiveness of daily elimination. Human beings were designed to perform their bodily functions in the squatting position. In order to be squeezed empty, the colon needs to be compressed by the thighs.
