As we all know, after the food eaten by the human body is fully digested and absorbed, a large amount of food residue will be produced.
And these food residues through the intestine to function, will eventually be excreted in the form of feces, so there is a common saying that "life does not stop, defecation does not stop".
However, in the face of the "small thing" of defecation, most people will have such doubts, that is, whether it is good to squat or sit?
In fact, there is no fixed answer to the common question of whether it is better to defecate in a squat or a seat.
Because for different defecation people, it is necessary to combine the following three angles for comprehensive consideration to finally determine which way of defecation is more appropriate. Let's take a closer look.
1. The angle of promoting bowel movements
If only from the perspective of which way of defecation can promote the smooth discharge of feces, squatting is undoubtedly better than sitting. Because in the case of squatting, the right angle structure present in the human excretion process will reach a higher angle numerical range of 100 degrees to 110 degrees.
In the case of sitting, the maximum angle value that can be achieved by the right angle structure of the anus is significantly lower than this range. Therefore, compared with sitting in the stool, squatting is indeed more conducive to feces excretion.
2. Security angle
In fact, from the perspective of promoting defecation, squatting is indeed slightly better than sitting, but sitting in terms of comfort or safety is often more advantageous. Because after a long squat, it is easy to have common problems such as numbness in the legs and feet, blackening in the eyes and dizziness.
Therefore, in the case of special physical conditions, such as after pregnancy or after the disease of legs and feet, in order to avoid the occurrence of danger as much as possible, it is best to choose to sit instead of squat during defecation.
3. Hygiene angle
It is well known that the direct contact between the toilet and the human skin will be significantly more than that of the squat toilet. Therefore, from the perspective of cleanliness and hygiene, the use of squatting toilets is often more conducive to the protection of private parts.
Especially when it is necessary to defecate in the public toilet, whether the toilet is cleaned and disinfected in a timely and effective manner is often unknown, so for the sake of private protection, it is recommended that everyone give priority to the use of squat toilets instead of toilets.
The above are the three important angles required for comprehensive consideration in judging whether squatting or sitting well, and everyone can make the final answer selection according to their actual situation.
However, in the process of defecation, in addition to paying attention to whether the defecation method is appropriate in time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the following two important matters in time, otherwise it may adversely affect the health of defecation.
1. Duration of defecation
Usually, it is best not to have a single bowel movement for more than 15 minutes. Otherwise, for a long time, it is easy to cause constipation due to the long time of defecation, which will be very unfavorable for intestinal maintenance. Therefore, in the process of defecation, everyone must pay attention to concentration, so as not to cause excessive defecation due to distraction.
2. Wipe after defecation
In order to minimize the discomfort caused by the friction of the paper towel, some friends will choose the wet paper towel as the most important post-toilet wipe. However, it is important to remember in this process that after wiping clean with a wet paper towel, it is necessary to wipe the residual moisture with a dry paper towel to remove it. Otherwise, if the anus is left in an over-moist state for a long time, it is likely to lead to the growth of bacteria.
The above is an introduction to the important knowledge that needs to be actively understood about the small matter of defecation. First of all, in the choice of bowel movement, we need to consider it comprehensively according to the actual situation, so as to judge whether it is better to squat or sit.
Secondly, in the process of defecation, we must reasonably control the duration of defecation, that is, it is best not to exceed 15 minutes. Finally, for post-toilet wipes, we must also pay more attention to avoid health damage due to improper wiping.
