Hi, Nurse Ann Thrax here.I had some downtime at the Lady Zeno Groinacological Memorial Free Clinic the other day and was browsing through some magazines in the waiting room. In the magazine, The Healthy Hippie Magazine, May and June 2008 issue. I ran across this article:
Dr. Kim Recomends That You Pee Outside
As people had in the past, most of us never use the full range of motion of our hips. Formerly, we had to squat to do daily tasks (farming, collecting, peeing) and the incidence of hip osteoarthritis was lessened. Without squatting, we don't bear weight on all areas of our hips which would normally allow for proper joint nutrition. With squatting we fully utilize this very important and highly mobile joint. This is the case in the non-Western World. In India, where toilets are still basic holes in the ground that you must squat over, the incidence of hip osteroarthritis (and thus the need for hip replacements) is much lower. They are using their hips to the full extent and thus preserving the integrity of the joints. We can all use this as a lesson and the next time you find yourself without a proper bathroom, pop a squat and save your hips!
Dear Ann, thank you so much for your valued insight and advice in the
matters of encouraging healthy habits for Beaver Ponders. On behalf of
our good friend Bob, I would like to mention that when one chooses to pee
outside, they should make sure that it is in a private area, not to be seen
by innocent people. As Bob will tell you, a ticket for public urination
will set you back $50 in Burlington. You may want to check with Officer
Sandy Leachfield on the squatter's rights in Beaver Pond.
