Is the toilet better or the squatting toilet better? Rifeng Sanitary Ware tells you how to choose

The toilet is better or the squatting toilet is better. Rifeng Sanitary Ware tells you how to choose. I think many people should have this question when decorating the bathroom, that is, whether to choose a squatting toilet or a sitting toilet. We can look at how our ancients chose. Of course, it is also very important for us to consider our own habits. How to choose that in the end is how to choose how comfortable it is. 1. The ancient way of sitting in the 'toilet' Western: 'toilet': for members of the royal family and the royal family. It is in a separate room and consists of a hollow chair and a potty under the chair, just like the current children's toilet chair plus a movable potty. In order to make the buttocks feel soft and comfortable, the chair is cushioned, and the potty is also very delicate, usually made of ceramics. For example, the surface of Henry VIII's toilet seat cushion is made of velvet, filled with down, and decorated with gilt nails and tassels, which is very luxurious and comfortable. The public toilets used by ordinary people in the court: it continued the style of public toilets in ancient Rome. At that time, the public toilets still did not have any privacy. Everyone lined up, or faced each other, or surrounded the city in a circle, sitting in their own holes and chatting. To solve the problem of excretion, the public toilet at that time was a serious social place. Everyone's excrement was washed into the shaft by a small amount of water and taken away by the moat. Dongfang: The toilet in the palace is called 'the official room'. It is usually made of wood, tin or porcelain, with a frame on the outside, a drawer-like potty underneath, and a lid. The more advanced ones are also equipped with a stool. Take Cixi as an example. When the empress dowager needed to be 'respectfulThe 'clean room' is for the Queen Mother. After using it, the maid took it out and gave it to the eunuch. The eunuch once again wrapped it in a cloth and carried it away on his head. After the 'official house' was washed, he would sprinkle dried rosin wood fines. Hmm, in fact, both at home and abroad, there was a way of sitting in ancient times. Also, I heard that the reason why foreigners don’t squat is that they can’t squat. Second, the characteristics of the two ways to go to the toilet 1. Squat type From the physiological structure, the squat type defecation is more in line with human physiology, and in theory, defecation should be smoother. This is mainly because when a person squats, the pressure on the abdomen is greater than when sitting, which can reduce abdominal strain and help defecation. The human body has a U-shaped puborectalis muscle, which starts from one side of the pubic bone, goes around the back of the rectum, and connects to the other side of the pubic bone to form a loop, which just pulls the rectal hook and makes the rectum form a pointed forward angle , This is the anorectal angle. 'In a normal sitting posture, the anorectal angle is about 90 degrees, while in a squatting position, the anorectal angle can reach more than 100 degrees. In theory, the larger the anorectal angle, the straighter the rectum and the smoother the bowel movement.' The person is squatting. At this time, the body curve is restored to the most original state, the legs are separated, the anus will naturally separate, and the anal stents will be stretched. This time is actually more convenient for defecation. And because the abdominal pressure increases when squatting to defecate, it reduces the effort during defecation. At the same time, the 'valve' (ileum-cecal sphincter) between the small intestine and the large intestine is squeezed and closed by the thigh, which can prevent stool from returning to the small intestine. At the same time, the sigmoid colon is also lifted. Make the feces can pass smoothly. However, when squatting, the support structure at the bottom of the pelvis will receive greater intra-abdominal pressure than when sitting. Over time, the continuous increase in abdominal pressure will make it easier for people with weak pelvic floor support structures, such as the elderly, to cause prolapse of the anus, hemorrhoids, and rectal and uterine prolapse. Moreover, squatting for too long will also make the blood flow poorly, and get dizzy, numbness, and weakness in the lower limbs after getting up after squatting. (For compatriots who don’t want to read the words, look here) 2. Compared to the squatting posture, the sitting posture does not have the effect of gravity such as the abdomen downwards. The emptying time is longer and the abdomen exerts more force. time consuming. When sitting, the sigmoid colon sags and it is difficult to discharge stool. Often, feces accumulate in the intestines for a long time, leading to the growth of toxins, various intestinal diseases, and even intestinal cancer. However, the lower extremity bending degree of sitting is about 90 degrees, which will not cause blood flow obstacles, nor will it cause obvious fluctuations in blood pressure, and can avoid dizziness after squatting. Sitting defecation does not increase the risk of hemorrhoids, constipation, colitis, appendicitis and colon cancer. But playing with mobile phones on the toilet is another matter. Third, how to choose from the physiological structure, in fact, squatting is more suitable for humans. Just think about it, won’t it be clear if you straighten your bowels? But squatting for too long is indeed not good. Therefore, compared to sitting and squatting, sitting is more suitable for certain specific groups of people, such as weaker middle-aged and elderly people, and patients with varicose veins. From the perspective of public health, flushing the toilet with water after going to the toilet will raise the bacteria such as E. coli in the feces and pollute the air and the toilet seat. Therefore, squatting in the toilet is more conducive to clean and hygienic. Indirect contact will not happen. What's more, it is easy to use. Finally, the time should be shortened regardless of squatting and sitting. In fact, no matter whether it is squatting or sitting, it will not be harmful to health under normal circumstances. The defecation time should not be too long, it is best to control it within 5 minutes. In addition, we should pay special attention to the fact that we should eat more cellulose-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits to prevent constipation and to develop the habit of regular bowel movements. In fact, whether it is sitting or squatting, each has its own advantages. We You can choose the one that suits you according to your own habits. (
