Don’t Sit More Than 5 Min on Toilet!❌🩸 #health #education #constipation #mom #dad #fitness #fyp

Did you know sitting on the toilet longer than 5-10 minutes for a bowel movement could cause or exacerbate hemorrhoids, prolapse, fissures, constipation, pelvic pain, etc?!🤯⬇️ Pooping should be completed within seconds to a few minutes!💩 Yes, even sitting for 5 minutes is a very long time for your pelvic floor. So what does it mean?💩 It means you may not being getting adequate water intake, fiber, or eating a balanced diet! It could mean that you need to exercise for improved digestion and gut motility. Remember that could be 30 minutes of walking a day!💩 I find TIGHT pelvic floor muscles and a weak CORE are the MAJOR PROBLEM that many doctors don’t address! (That’s why I created my online program The Belly Whisperer® Method!💩) You may also have an underlying disorder or an autoimmune disease such a Crohn’s or Celiac’s Disease which can cause constipation and irregular BMs! 💩 So why is SITTING for long periods of time of the toliet BAD for you?💩 The pressure of the seat cutting into your bottom results in increased pressure through the rectal area. This pressure along with gravity causes the blood to pool in the area around your anus. This can result in swelling of the veins surrounding the anus which places you at increased risk for HEMORRHOIDS. Then add STRAINING or PUSHING to the mix and you are much more likely to have HEMORRHOIDS❌ Hemorroids are swollen veins in your anus and lower rectum (similar to varicose veins). Its common to get hemorroids due to chronic straining, obesity, and during pregnancy (especially after child birth!)💩 Even if you don’t have hemorroids, it is important to prevent them from occurring in the future!💩 Constipation is one of the most common COMPLAINTS that I treat next to PAINFUL penetration and intimacy!⬇️⬇️⬇️ If you struggle with any of these then check out The Belly Whisperer® Method Online Program! Anyone else yell at their partner, friend, or family to get off the toilet after 5 min to save their pelvic floor?!🙋‍♀️⬇️ -The Belly Whisperer
