I've heard many times that it's great to squat when pooping. That's the sales pitch for squaty potty. It keeps getting repeated all the time.
But is it? If it is good, then asians should have less problems associated with it. Do they? Does anybody know of a study of this type? I didn't find anything.
On a related note, professional athletes tend to die young. Especially marathon runners do not live long lives. It's not at all a healthy lifestyle. Somehow this information gets left out a lot. It's just treated as a given that the more sports the better for our health. But that's not at all true. It's very bad to never do sports. But we don't have to do much physical activity to ace it.
