Indian squat toilets offer better bowel health than Western toilets

Indian-style squat toilets are more natural and beneficial for bowel health than Western-style toilets, according to experts. Squatting facilitates easier bowel movements by relaxing pelvic floor muscles and straightening the colon, reducing strain and the risk of conditions like constipation and hemorrhoids. While Western toilets are convenient, they can cause strain and potentially increase the risk of pelvic floor disorders and other issues. Experts suggest using a stool with Western toilets to mimic squatting.
