Using a small stool under your feet while sitting on the toilet is a simple habit that can significantly improve how your body functions during bowel movements. This method helps recreate a natural squatting position, which is actually the way the human body is designed to eliminate waste more efficiently.

When you lift your feet so that your knees are higher than your hips, your body shifts into a better alignment. In a normal sitting position, the rectum is slightly bent due to a muscle called the puborectalis. This bend creates resistance, making it harder for stool to pass smoothly. However, when you elevate your feet, the angle of the rectum changes from about 90 degrees to around 126 degrees. This straightens the passage, allowing waste to move more easily and quickly. This change in posture also relaxes the puborectalis muscle. When this muscle is relaxed, there is less obstruction, and the body does not need to strain as much. Reduced straining means less pressure in the abdominal area, making the process more comfortable and natural. Many people notice that bowel movements feel easier and more complete when using this position. Another key benefit is the reduction of intra-abdominal pressure. Straining while sitting normally can increase pressure inside the abdomen, which may lead to discomfort and long-term issues. By using a stool, gravity helps the process, reducing the effort required. This can lower the risk of problems like constipation and hemorrhoids over time. This posture also supports better digestive health overall. Easier and more complete elimination helps prevent waste from staying in the colon for too long, which can cause bloating or irregular bowel habits. By making bowel movements smoother, this simple change encourages regularity and improves overall comfort. For centuries, many cultures have used squatting toilets, which naturally put the body in this optimal position. Modern toilets changed this posture, but using a small stool is an easy way to bring back that natural alignment without changing your bathroom setup. In simple terms, placing your feet on a stool while using the toilet helps straighten the colon, relax muscles, reduce strain, and make bowel movements quicker and more complete. Over time, this small adjustment can make a noticeable difference in comfort and digestive health.

They know the legend… but not always the woman behind him. Before the world knew genius, there was a mother who saw it first. Stevie Wonder’s mother, Lula Mae Hardaway, didn’t just raise him… she protected his gift, nurtured his confidence, and helped shape his sound. When others might have doubted a blind child navigating the world, she made sure he never saw himself as limited. She even co-wrote songs with him including “I Was Made to Love Her” and contributed to his early musical direction. That’s not just support… that’s legacy. But here’s what many don’t know… Lula Mae fought to make sure Stevie wasn’t taken advantage of as a young artist. In an industry that often exploited talent, she stood firm behind the scenes, helping him secure better control over his career early on. And when Stevie pushed boundaries creatively in the 70s… that confidence didn’t come from nowhere. It came from a mother who told him he could. Every note… every classic… every moment of brilliance… There’s a mother’s belief behind it.

🇳🇬 BREAKING: Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede, Rejects Amnesty for “Repentant Terrorists,” Says Force Is the Only Solution and Calls for Decisive Military Action Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede, has declared that appeasement and goodwill gestures cannot end terrorism in the country, insisting that only decisive force will produce lasting results. Speaking at the Nigerian Armed Forces’ inaugural lecture at the Joint Doctrine Centre in Abuja, he stated, “No amount of goodwill gesture or appeasement will end terrorism in Nigeria. It can never be a comprehensive solution compared to decisive kinetic action.” He warned that terrorist groups exploit peace initiatives, adding, “They will simply exploit these initiatives whenever it benefits them. Terrorists never surrender out of remorse.” According to him, such groups only lay down their arms when they are overwhelmed. “They lay down their arms only when they are facing certain defeat, and suddenly, they claim to be repentant,” he said. Footage from the event shows General Oluyede addressing an audience of senior military officers and civilians, including personnel from the army, air force, and other branches gathered in a large auditorium.
