Gut health plays a pivotal role in our overall wellbeing, affecting everything from digestion to immune function. While it's often overlooked, the simple act of using a foot stool like the PROPPR can significantly impact your gut health. Let's delve deeper into the connection between gut health and the innovative PROPPR toilet foot stool.
The Importance of Gut Health
Before we explore the role of the PROPPR foot stool, it's crucial to understand why gut health matters. The gut houses trillions of bacteria that influence digestion, nutrient absorption, and even mood regulation. An imbalance in gut bacteria can lead to various health issues, making it vital to maintain a healthy gut.
We often only think of the gut processing the food we eat, but it processes much more than food. Did you know that all our hormones have to leave the body through the gut? Yes, we produce more hormones than we need, so all this waste gets pushed to the large intestine to rid it from the body. An over production of hormones, for women, may lead to things like strong PMS symptoms, hormonal acne, irregular period cycles, fibroids and other oestrogen dependent issues.
Same goes for men. Some men can have trouble removing oestrogen from their bodies, or having excess cortisol may affect their moods, fatigue, belly fat, breast size and other side effects of hormonal imbalance in men. So, no matter how you identify, attention needs to be made on how our gut is removing waste from the body – and we mean ALL the waste.
In addition to removing excess hormones from the body, the colon or large intestine must also remove toxins from the body that were sent its way from the liver. One of the jobs of the liver is to clean the blood, and once clean, it sends the waste to… you guessed it the colon!
So as you can see, the colon is quite a busy organ, but also a very LAZY organ, which is why we need to give it all the help we can in moving things out of the body.
The Gut-Posture Connection
Believe it or not, your posture during bowel movements can affect gut health. Conventional sitting positions on a western pedestal toilet may not be ideal for optimal elimination. In fact, it’s been said that since the invention of the pedestal toilet aka The Throne, our bowel motions and overall digestion has become worse. Check out this great little video from the BBC about how the “The Throne” came to be.
What we’ve learned is that squatting is the way to “go!” But not all of us can or should squat on a pedestal toilet. In fact, squatting on a pedestal toilet is quite dangerous. Enter the PROPPR toilet foot stool—an ingeniously designed solution that transforms your bathroom experience.
How the PROPPR Makes a Difference
The PROPPR is not just another toilet foot stool; it's a game-changer for your bathroom routine. By elevating your feet during bathroom visits, the PROPPR helps align your body into a more natural, squat-like position. This simple adjustment straightens the sigmoid colon, allowing for easier and more complete elimination.
