What are hemorrhoids?

Constipation, Hemorrhoids or Piles, andinactivity go hand in hand. If you have been constipated for quitea while, chances are you have hemorrhoids. If you are inactivebecause you just like sitting around or are confined to a bed orchair, then you will have constipation and hemorrhoids.

In the previous chapters I have talked aboutwhat is constipation and what foods not to eat and what foods toeat to eliminate constipation.

The diet and preventative measures to takefor hemorrhoids are the same for constipation. Eliminatingconstipation is the first step in curing your hemorrhoids. The nextstep is using natural remedies to eliminate your hemorrhoids. Thethird step is to increase your activity through walking, exercise,or other moving activities.

These three steps can be done at the sametime especially if you have hemorrhoids that are itchy or painfuland are in need of attention.

Constipation

Constipation occurs when fecal matter remainsin your colon 25 hours or more. You should be having at least 2bowel movements per day, especially if you are eating three meals aday. If you are not then, you are constipated to the point whereyou may need to puff, push, or strain to have a bowel movement.

Bowel movements must occur naturally. Whenyour colon is somewhat working good and you are eating good food,then you will naturally have the urge to have 2-3 bowel movementsper day. If you do not have 2-3 bowel movements per day, dontworry and dont force yourself to have them. Just start changingyour diet as I have outline in earlier chapters and as time passesyou will have more natural bowel movement during the day.

Enlarged Veins

Hemorrhoids, in the rectum, occur when theveins are not returning enough blood back to the heart. When thishappens, the vein walls do not receive enough oxygen and release asubstance into the blood that cause them swell and become inflamed.This swelling causes the vein to become weaken and more likely tobreak when they are rubbed, like during a bowel movement.

If your stools are hard, you have a higherchance of breaking a swelling vein. For this reason getting yourstools softer is one step in clearing your hemorrhoids. You can dothis by eating a diet and using remedies that are directed atrelieving constipation.

And when you do, your stools areusually small, hard, and dry. If you have to push and strain or siton the toilet for 10-15 minutes, then expect to have hemorrhoids atsome point. Two to three minutes is all you normally need to have anatural bowel movement.
