Pooping position can be determined by the style of toilet. Experts advise weighing them before making a choice and considering hygiene and comfort.


Pooping positions depends on the type of toilet that is used. Both Indian and western toilets have their own pros and cons. Squatting helps in better bowel movement while sitting relaxes the abdomen and knees. 
Have you ever wondered which among the two types of toilets – the sitting toilet (western style toilet) or the squat toilet (Indian style toilet) — provides the healthiest or best pooping position or allows for effective bowel clearance?

Both styles of toilets are meant for the same act, answering nature’s call. But there is a significant difference between the two in terms of comfort, hygiene and how they facilitate bowel clearance. While it is understood that individual preferences determine the choice of the style of toilet, and thereby pooping position, ideally an informed choice should be made, weighing in their pros and cons.

😳 Pooping position pros and cons: Western toilet
Using the western toilet is convenient for the elderly, and those with weak and brittle bones. A seated pooping position will avoid stress on the knee and the back. It provides more comfort compared to the squat-style toilet and is convenient to use for people with mobility challenges.

“On a western toilet, the hips and the back are relaxed, and the body weight will not fall on the knees,” says Dr G Mohan, orthopedics, trauma and joint replacement surgeon, Fortis Hospital, Chennai. “It also helps prevent falls and fractures. It is beneficial for the middle-aged and the elderly.”

However, unlike in the squat-style toilet, the pooping position in western-style toilets comes with its own set of problems. The torso remains relaxed and the thighs are not flexed over the abdomen. So, the colon is not compressed or the puborectal muscle is not stretched enough to allow complete bowel clearance. It could lead to indigestion, constipation, and piles, among others, say experts.

However, an individual’s diet also has a big say in ensuring smooth bowel movement. So, ensuring an adequate amount of fibre and laxatives in food keeps issues such as constipation away, regardless of the type of toilet you are using

🤗 The pooping position in the Indian squat toilet is more suitable for younger people as it requires flexibility and strength in the limbs. However, it has quite a bit of advantages, and cons as well.

When a person squats, the torso presses the thighs, making them flex the abdomen, resulting in compression of the colon and relaxation of the puborectalis muscle which allows for complete emptying of the bowel. This aids in better digestion and prevents constipation. Squatting over the toilet ensures better hygiene as there is no direct contact with the toilet seat. The action of squatting also serves as a physical exercise, improving blood circulation and strengthening the leg muscles.

It has its limitations though. The Indian toilet or squat toilet is not suitable for the elderly, people with compromised mobility due to osteoarthritis, or people recovering from recent surgeries or other medical reasons. Using Indian toilets might strain the hips, back and knees.

“It is recommended not to use the Indian commode for more than 20 minutes to avoid knee stress,” adds Dr Mohan

Rose and her mother, Ruth (Frances Fisher), have a difficult relationship, with Ruth pressuring Rose to marry the abusive Cal Hockley (Billy Zane) in order to maintain their social status. Rose's father is dead and the family's money has run out, and Ruth is horrified by the idea of having to work for a living. Before Ruth boards a lifeboat, she and Rose have a final confrontation. Rose calls her mother out on her selfish concerns about the lifeboats being too crowded when half the people on board are going to die. Rose then says "Goodbye, Mother," with an air of finality, and leaves as her mother disembarks the ship.

If your alarm clock could talk, what would it say?

Everyone, at some point in their life, has made a mistake. Sometimes we get lucky and only falter a little, making it through the problem relatively intact. Other times, we mess up a lot and have to fix what was damaged over a long period of time. However, the same is true for most, if not all cases—those who make the mistake learn from it. Often times, our failures teach us valuable lessons that we only gained because of the experience we gathered after messing up. I have personally achieved a wealth of knowledge and experience just from all of my own little mishaps, and a few major ones.

That turbulent time which taught me through failure was when I tried to arrange a birthday party for my sister. Everything was supposed to be arranged by me, so I went out a bought the invitation cards, party favors, balloons, decorations, food, and a few gifts. I filled out the invitations early and put them in a box to store them until I was ready to send them. Time flew by fast between daily life with my kids and responsibilities, and before I knew it the day of the party was upon me. Quickly that morning I decorated and cooked and prepared everything. As the hour of the party came and went, no one showed up but the birthday girl, whom I had called personally. Later it occurred to me that I hadn’t sent out the invitations! That was why no one had come. I soon learned from that mistake to be more organized and manage my time better when planning events.
