蹲厕比马桶有益健康--科学家建议蹲坑

记得以前中国有个快板农村人想赶城里人时髦,但是总也赶不上吗?看看科学家的研究,美国人正在试图推广蹲坑。因为坐便不符合人体科学,对身体有害,公共厕所还容易传染疾病。已经形成了西人特有的病种。为了你的身体健康,赶紧低下你那貌似高贵的头,提起你那貌似干净的屁股,远离坐便马桶吧。  没有蹲坑的,建议你们以后出去学中国农民,直接站马桶边上蹲着。



Drawing on many sources for his research, Shane made several astounding discoveries about sitting toilets that would came as a surprise to many:

The Position Traditionally Used By Human Beings

"eople in ancient times didn't have chair-like toilets; they assumed the natural crouching position (squatting) that two-thirds of humanity still uses today.
"In fact, we were born with squatting facets on our heel bones to help us keep balanced, but since people in Western societies sit to defecate now, they disappear as we mature. We have trained ourselves to unlearn a basic function of the body."


The Link Between Sitting Toilets and Western Diseases

"Since people in the West have begun sitting to crap, a host of almost exclusively Western health problems has emerged. Steven Arnott, in his book Wash Your Hands!, pointed out that:


'Squatting is said to be the healthier option as it aligns the rectum and anus in a near vertical position.

'Sitting tends to create a kink between the rectum and anus, often necessitating much straining to force a turd around the bend. Squatting also spreads the buttocks to reveal the anus, whereas sitting can do the opposite.'"




On Hemorrhoids
"Dr Berko Sikirov, an Israeli physician, discovered thathemorrhoids, found in approximately 50 percent of people over forty in Western societies, is caused by the continual aggravation of straining that is needed to force out a turd while in the sitting position."


Sitting Toilets = Incomplete Evacuation + Colon Diseases

"Another problem is that while sitting it is impossible to completely empty the colon and the residue hardens, a process known as fecal stagnation.
"The Journal of Epidemiology has listed fecal stagnation as a major risk for colon cancer. The stagnant feces expose the colon to toxic carcinogens that cause colon cancer as well as appendicitis and inflammatory bowel disease."


Prostate Problems

"An Australian researcher, Wallace Bowles, found that the pudendal nerve, which connects the prostrate to the brain, is damaged over time by the strain of sitting defecation. Without brain signals, the prostate grows uncontrollably, ultimately leading to cancer.
"Doctors once believed, and many continue to believe, that there was non-Western immunity to the diseases caused by the sitting position.
"The proof of the connection between these diseases and sitting lies in the comparison between Western societies and traditional African and Asian societies where squatting is normal, and these diseases are virtually non-existent."


Bauer did not stop here, but went on to find out why sitting toilets became a part of the world today. The next question he asked was:


With all these health risks, what made us begin to sit
to defecate, and why do we continue to do it today?


Again, Shane proved himself to be an excellent detective and researcher. What he discovered was astounding and put to rest all arguments that there is nothing wrong with sitting toilets:


Who Invented The Sitting Toilet?

"The sit-down toilet was an effect of the increasing class and racial stratification of the Victorian Era in England (1837-1901). The flushing sit-down toilet was invented in 1596 by Sir John Harrington, a godson of Queen Elizabeth I, who knew nothing about human physiology.
"The invention didn't become well known until Thomas Turiferd gave Queen Victoria was given her first ceramic toilet in 1859. The Victorians are often remembered today as the people who 'civilized' England and are characterized by their prudish and repressed social behaviors."




Sitting vs Squatting = Civilised vs Primitive?
"The 'porcelain throne' was justified by the idea that sitting was more dignified and suited for the aristocrats so that they wouldn't be like the natives in the colonies."
"Victorian social pressures about what it meant to be 'civilized', combined with the fact that bodily functions were taboo in 19th century England, let the new toilet spread into English society without resistance.
"Nobody dared to speak against it. Who would denounce something that the queen herself used? But the toilet's secret unpopularity was signified in the Harrods of London by high sales of squatting stools that people set up over their sit down toilets."
"Bathroom practices have long been indicators of social status. In the Middle ages, while the poor used sticks and scrapers to wipe, the wealthy used such materials as unspun hemp or wool.
"The ultimate status symbol for the Chinese mandarins was 'not having to clean your bottom at all: [their] long fingernails made it impossible for them to wipe themselves -- a public declaration that their bottom washing was to be done by a servant.'"


Why Sitting Toilets Will Not Go Away Anytime Soon

"The idea of being more 'civilized' than the rest of the world cannot be attributed to the Victorian era alone…
"Today we are obsessed with the 'image' of civilization. We separate ourselves from the 'underdeveloped' world by the modernization and dehumanization of our everyday activities.
"We watch fabricated lives on television for entertainment; we eat plastic wrapped food instead of cooking it ourselves; we often prefer email over face to face conversation; we sit while we shit instead of squatting."


The Consequences of The Western World's Choice of Toilets

"In doing so we are compromising our health to maintain the illusion that we have somehow evolved from what makes us animals.
"We sit because it psychologically removes us from a bodily function that reminds us that no amount of technology can separate us from the animal world.
"We make defecation impersonal by sitting down on a stool of porcelain, and we ignore our physiological need to do otherwise.
"Those Victorian social pressures have been passed down for the past one hundred and fifty years.
"As a child, I remember making fun of other kids who would have to poo while we were playing out in the woods. The funniest thing to us was when they would squat down. We found their bodily position 'grosser' than what actually came out. Protocol for the proper way to ca-ca has become one of our cultural values.
"Sitting on the toilet is only one of the many ways that we subconsciously hold our society above cultures in 'Third World' countries. Despite the physiological reasons against it, we have continued to accept serious health problems over committing such a socially disgusting, heathenous act as squatting."


Bauer's Call For Change

Transformed by his experience with squatting, Shane Bauer issued a call for a change and appealed for his countrymen to go back to squatting, 'the natural crouching position (squatting) that two-thirds of humanity still uses today':


"It is time for a change; let's tear the toilets out of our walls and reclaim the ways of our ancestors! Maybe the West isn't ready for a bathroom revolution, but we don't have to accept the diseases of industrialization."

Bauer then explained why it is never too late for one to enjoy the benefits of squatting:


"The epidemic (of health problems associated with the use of sitting toilets) is easily reversed. A study by Dr. Berko Sikirov, published in the Israeli Journal of Medical Scienceshowed a 90% cure rate from hemorrhoids after switching to the squatting position.

"Walles Bowles, in his article Prostate Disorder: Causes And Cure, says that:


'An ongoing informal study indicates that, providing prostate enlargement has not progressed too far, symptoms gradually reverse when men abandon seated bowel movements and squat instead.

The study indicates that improvement usually occurs within three months and, within about six months of making this posture change, most men (including men in their seventies) regain normal prostate function).'"

NHS也建议取代坐便了。估计以后弄不好可以拿医疗费报销安装蹲坑了。http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Episiotomy/Pages/Recovery.aspx

如果蹲着上厕所,如果不便秘的话平均时间应该是一分钟以内。   另外楼上刚贴了一个帖子,有一个设施可以帮着蹲。
早知当初不改过来了。我现在也蹲不习惯了。

问题是如今还没看见修得好的蹲式马桶问世。
传统的蹲式需要改良。
还得一人一坑,还得冲水。这些坐式马桶的优点不能放弃。

不够稳定,也不够高档。
一看就是临时性的、工棚性的。
得生产永久性的。
建议公厕与私宅之内蹲、坐兼备,就好比洗澡间之兼有盆塘与淋浴。
老弱病残以及好享受的用坐式。
愿意锻炼身体的用蹲式。

哈哈。。。。。。公共厕所坐式的肯定不卫生,你也坐他也坐。但其“收集”效果好,冲的干净。这一点是蹲式没法比的。
