Comment on How bathroom posture affects your health.

Let's just say that this squatting thing really does have all the benefits that the article says it does.

Does is occur to anyone else that instead of squatting precariously on a sit toilet, risking a fall and backsplash on the feet, one could simply put a stack of phonebooks or a kiddie stool in front of the toilet, and then put your feet on it while you take a dump? Same angle for the core/legs, but less danger.

One of the commentators on the original article suggested using a stool. It's a good idea, but what a choice of words!

I'd think you'd want something on each side of the toilet, not just in front.
