Natures Platform - The basis for a healthier life to help eradicate diseases of the digestive system

Seven Advantages

1.	Makes elimination faster, easier and more complete. This helps prevent "fecal stagnation," a prime factor in colon cancer, appendicitis and inflammatory bowel disease.
2.	Protects the nerves that control the prostate, bladder, and uterus from becoming stretched and damaged.
3.	Securely seals the ileocecal valve, between the colon and the small intestine. In the conventional sitting position, this valve is unsupported and often leaks during evacuation, contaminating the small intestine.
4.	Relaxes the puborectalis muscle which normally chokes the rectum in order to maintain continence.
5.	Uses the thighs to support the colon and prevent straining. Chronic straining on the toilet can cause hernias, diverticulosis, and pelvic organ prolapse.
6.	A highly effective, non-invasive treatment for hemorrhoids, as shown by published clinical research.
7.	For pregnant women, squatting avoids pressure on the uterus when using the toilet. Daily squatting helps prepare the mother-to-be for a more natural delivery.
