Are We Unknowingly Making Life Difficult?

In today’s fast-paced world, we often adopt habits that unintentionally make our lives more complicated. A prime example is the widespread shift to Western-style toilets. Ironically, while we’ve embraced them for modern convenience, we now turn to practices like Malasana (yogic squatting) to counteract the very health drawbacks they bring.

Yes, it’s true that elderly individuals or those with specific health conditions may find Indian-style toilets difficult to use. But for the rest—especially children, young adults, and middle-aged individuals—using Indian-style toilets can be far more beneficial to overall health.

If we have the option to build or renovate, why not consider having at least one Indian-style toilet at home? It’s a small change that can bring surprising improvements to digestion, posture, and core strength—without requiring extra time or effort like formal fitness routines.

As we navigate through the busiest and most stressful days of our lives, let’s rethink the way we approach our daily habits. Simple choices—like choosing how we sit—can add up to big benefits for our well-being.
