Half of all Americans over the age of 50 have hemorrhoids.  Hemorrhoid treatment is estimated at over 50 million dollars per year.  Most of this money is from suppositories.  This is astounding to me.  All this could be prevented by eating fiber and fluids.  Hemorrhoids can be treated in many different ways, but way wait, start changing your diet now.  If you increase how much water, vitamin C and fiber, and exercise regularly, the blood that gets trapped in the veins will be reabsorbed into the body and the problem will clear up.  I have had hemorrhoids and it was terribly painful. 

I have since made several changes in my diet and I haven’t had a problem since.  You should be having at least one bowel movement a day and preferably two.  If you are eating more fiber and drinking a lot of water then you stools with be softer and bulkier and that makes it easier to have a bowel movement.  Good sources of fiber are fruits, vegetable and whole grains.  Don’t let your hemorrhoids get to the point that you will have to have surgery to get rid of them.
