Don't Make Squatting a Habit

Tweet

I seem to learn something new nearly every day. Or at least I try to and, I enjoy reading the health newsletters I get on different subjects. I think this one is interesting and something we might not be sure about. Since this one today is of a more personal nature I am going to try to write it in a way that is in no way offensive. I'm sure we all have to use a public bathroom from time to time. Many of us use the paper toilet cover if available or use toilet paper to make ourselves a "nest" on the toilet seat. Or we just squat. Experts say that squatting over the toilet to pee is not a good habit to get into. It can cause some of the urine to remain in your bladder and, you could leak if you happen to laugh, cough, sneeze, or jump. Also, it is better to set rather than squat because the pelvic muscles need to relax. So, if you already have a bit of a leakage problem anyway, setting is better than squatting. I hope I didn't do too badly as far as word usage went.
