Tips on Preventing Hemorrhoids

Although nobody likes to talk about it, hemorrhoids are very common and can be very painful and in cases, hard to treat.

Here are some steps that can prevent hemorrhoids.

• Take foods that have lots of fiber such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains which can relieve constipation and consequent straining at stool.
• Avoid taking strong spices such as red pepper and mustard and drinks such as coffee and alcohol which can inflame the lower Gl tract.
• Drink lots of water every day to help maintain consistency in stools.
• Exercise regularly for healthy digestion and regular bowel function.
• Avoid prolonged sitting that can result to hemorrhoids.
• Avoid stress which can lead to the disturbance of the balance of the nervous system which controls bowel function. Try to practice a relaxation technique to manage your stress.
• Try supplements such as Triphala which is an excellent bowel regulator or take one teaspoon of liquid aloe vera after meals.
