Colon Cancer Can Be Avoided - Just Squat

 

 According to Oncologists 80% of colorectal cancers (also known as colon cancer or large bowel cancer) occur in the caecum and the sigmoid colon, the two areas that are not fully evacuated in the sitting posture. This causes fecal stagnation and hardening and exposes the walls of the colon to toxic carcinogens. An article in the journal Epidemiology reported that fecal stagnation is a major risk factor for colon cancer. With 655,000 deaths worldwide per year, it is the third most common form of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the Western world. In traditional Asian and African cultures where squatting is the norm, colon cancer is virtually unknown!
