Here is the truth: it is a possibility and it could be an explanation of many bowel issues you deal with sometimes. Perhaps it’s time to de-code everything and find out the right way to sit on a toilet because it turns out that the angle created by our rectum can affect our health.
It could be mind-blowing to think of this but there is always a right and a wrong way to sit on the toilet, and it is all about math, angles, and calculations!
Alright, it is time to fix our position in the toilet and figure out a better way to let the stools out. After all, our job is to do whatever it takes to be healthier and happier!
#1 – Squatting

The best position to flush down all the waste from your body is by squatting. There are many studies that were done on people who use the squat toilet and found that when you sit and lean slightly forward, your bowels are in the perfect position to let out everything without putting any pressure on the body and without leaving anything inside.
#2 – Sitting and leaning forward

If the angle you are using when sitting is leaning forward, then you are not sitting in the right way. You will be close to doing the proper bowel position, though. So if you are a leaner, then you should go all the way until your elbows touch your knees.
This is the closest way to get into the squatting angle, which is the healthiest way!
#3 – Sitting and leaning backward

No matter what you do, don’t sit on the toilet and lean backward. That’s one of the worst ways to deal with the waste inside your body.
