Do you suffer from chronic hemorrhoids? If your answer is yes then just maybe you need to make a change in your lifestyle. A cure for long standing hemorrhoids can be as easy as make a few alterations to your daily routine. Behavior and practices that have become embedded in your everyday life need to be reassessed to prevent the hemorrhoids from coming back and to keep away from having surgery.
Today, fast and simple meals are commonplace to those who experience daily life that is often hectic. The result is that these unwholesome choices results in neglecting proper nutrition thus affecting the digestive process.
Diets rich in fiber help to strengthen rectal valves and veins both in and around the area of the anus. As well, fiber also helps to make the stool softer, making it easier to pass the stool.
Excellent sources of natural fiber can be found in grains, cereals, whole wheat pastas and various fruits and vegetables. You may also consider the use of fiber supplements. For women consuming at least 22 grams of fiber and for men at least 35 grams of fiber is the recommended daily intake. Most labels on foods products have the fiber content listed under 'Nutrition Facts' section.
Being aware of what your diet consists of is the key ingredient in making the correct food choice. Dry, hard stool that leads to constipation is the result of eating processed food low in fiber and high in carbohydrates.
Hemorrhoids are the result of excessive pressure in the rectum due to recurring constipation. On the other hand frequent diarrhea can also cause hemorrhoids. Fatty foods, excess alcohol and/or caffeine, and some medications have also been known to create stool that is watery.
Frequent diarrhea can damage the veins in the rectal area. To promote regular and healthy bowel movements you should drink a minimum of six glasses of water per day.
Regular exercise as well as a healthy diet is an important factor in preventing hemorrhoids. Sitting around all day either at work or watching TV is unnatural and therefore unhealthy resulting in creating the perfect environment for hemorrhoids. Exercise suitable for your health and your age, promotes natural movement in the digestive system, and also encourages a healthy weight, and alleviates anxiety.
In order to realize a long-term cure for hemorrhoids it is important to practice good toilet habits. When the urge presents itself it is time to move your bowels. To delay it, results in the stool becoming dry and hard and therefore possible constipation.
When you need to eliminate, do it as fast as possible to lessen the effect of straining. Moisture and feces left behind contribute to hemorrhoids so make sure you wipe cleanly and completely after each bowel movement. Also, bathing or showering daily will remove any dirt and perspiration.
Living a healthy lifestyle and caring for yourself is normally enough to cure long term hemorrhoids. It is very rare that surgery is required for the cure. If however, those hemorrhoids despite your best efforts refuse to go away, consult your doctor.
