Never sit on the toilet for more than 10 minutes.

Sitting too long can compress nerves in the lower back and legs, causing numbness, tingling, or pain.

4. Encourages Healthy Bowel Habits

Limiting toilet time helps prevent constipation and straining, promoting regular and efficient bowel movements.

Tip: Try to use the toilet only when you feel the urge, and aim to finish within 5–10 minutes. You can also use a footstool to elevate your knees slightly, which helps straighten the rectum and makes bowel movements easier.

Sitting too long might feel relaxing, but your body will thank you for keeping it short and sweet!
