Most of us don’t think twice about how much time we spend on the toilet. However, experts urged him to consider the ’21 second rule’. A team of researchers from Georgia Tech found that most mammals weighing more than 3 kg empty their bladders in about 21 seconds.
The researchers claim that this time frame can be a useful tool for humans when monitoring their bladder habits.
Dr. “If the length of time you go to urinate is longer or shorter than 20 seconds, then you’re either holding it too long or you’re going too often,” says Janis Miller.
YOUR ANSWERS ARE IMPORTANT
In an interview with Well and Good, she said: “If you find that you almost always urinate significantly less or more for 20 seconds, consider examining your bladder habits: Are you drinking too much water or not enough? Do you give yourself enough toilet breaks during the day? Or do you overuse the bathroom because it’s the only private place in your home? Your answers can help you change your bladder habits.”
IT MAY BE CYSTITIS OR PROSTATE
Urine flow rates can indicate health problems, including bladder stones, cystitis, and even prostate problems. Therefore, it is very important to consider the time spent in the bathroom.
