Comment on How bathroom posture affects your health.

The study claims squatting is better than sitting for hemorrhoids, but what is the effect of squatting on the knees?

Deep squatting is good for the knees.

I do it as a weight lifting exercise three times a week. Please squat below parallel (i.e. hip below knees, the bone in your leg should be below parallel to the ground). High squatting above parallel can wreck your knees.
