Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 How to Have an Easier B.M. by Chet Day Most people eating a conventional, modern diet composed predominantly of processed foods will rarely experience a normal bowel movement. That's a shame because a really good b.m. leaves you with the same feeling you'd get if, say, the Publisher's Clearinghouse award van pulled into your driveway. This will probably sound odd to many, but you can have a better and more complete evacuation of your intestines every day if you put a footstool in front of the toilet. Then, when you sit down to make a deposit, put your feet on top of the footstool. As most of the rest of the world knows, the easiest bowel movements come when the human body is in a squatting position. Using a footstool with an American toilet helps to more closely get the body in the natural position. It's even better to put the seat in the up position on the toilet and to then squat on the rim of the commode. I don't recommend this technique for those with balance problems, and I've also heard of a postal worker (no kidding) who was fired because he refused to take his shoes off when balancing on the rim of the commode at work. I don't know how he was ever caught in the act, so don't ask. Seriously, the footstool technique works wonders for constipated people, and most Americans are seriously constipated. -- Diana Gonzalez Nothing wastes more energy than worrying - the longer a problem is carried, the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously - live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets. -Unknown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
