The New York Post published an article on 5 things everyone should have to p**p better—let’s see what they had to say.
1. Get more fiber, including through a supplement. This helps soften stool and allow smoother, better bowel movements. Smooth, easy bowel movements is importsnt for maintaining hemorrhoidal vein health. (A good complement that directly supports the hemorrhoidal veins with its doctor-formulated blend of clinically researched ingredients is H Formula from VitasupportMD—give it a try today!)
2. Consume probiotics, which help grow the good bacteria in your gut and build a healthy gut microbiome. The New York Post included kimchi as an example of a food providing good probiotics.
3. Use a bidet, which is a water stream device that cleans your bottom after a bowel movement rather than wiping with toilet paper.
4. Use a bathroom stool, or squatty potty, during bowel movements because the squat position while on the toilet facilitates a smoother, easier bowel movement.
5. Use a walking pad. Walking stimulates your intestines and supports regular bowel movements, and a walking pad in your house makes getting your steps in a little more convenient.
These are all easy and effective way to support your gut health, bowel health, and ease while doing your business on the toilet. Which of these bathroom tips do you want to incorporate into your daily healthy routines?
