Is it good to read while going to the toilet?

　　In fact, this is a very unscientific living habit. If it continues in the long run, it may eventually lead to being unable to squat for a long time every time you defecate.

If you read books or newspapers while going to the toilet, you will often lose track of time, which will undoubtedly increase the chance of getting sick.

Over time, it is easy to form defecation difficulties or habitual constipate . Moreover, this will also prolong defecation time and cause anal congestion. Anal congestion can mislead the nervous system and stimulate the "defecation sensor". At this time, the central nervous system will receive a false defecation signal, causing the anus to feel swollen for a long time, thus causing hemorrhoids. If things go on like this, it will also cause diseases such as rectal mucosal shedding and pelvic drop.

　　In addition, toilets are a source of pollution in families, and the air quality is very poor, especially in some closed toilets, where odor pollution is particularly prominent. Moreover, the odor can also cause vicious stimulation to the human cerebral cortex and make people feel unhappy and irritable. If you are often stimulated by foul odors, it may cause memory loss and even some neurological symptoms, such as fatigue, nausea, dizziness, etc. Sitting on the toilet for a long time will inevitably inhale more bacteria, sulfide, ammonia and other harmful gases in the air, causing healthy causing serious losses.
