hemorrhoids Prevention
Take steps to save yourself
Fiber Up
Hemorrhoids can be caused by straining during bowel movements. Fiber helps soften stool and adds bulk, making it easier to pass without straining. Aim for 25-35 grams of fiber daily by incorporating fruits, vegetables, and whole grains into your diet.
Hydration Hero
Dehydration can lead to constipation, which increases pressure in the veins around your rectum and anus, contributing to hemorrhoids. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day keeps your stool soft and easier to pass, reducing this pressure.

Bathroom Break Buddy
Ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement or straining on the toilet can put excessive pressure on the veins in your rectum, potentially leading to hemorrhoids. When you feel the urge to go, respond promptly and avoid straining. If you have difficulty passing stool regularly, consult a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions.
Move It or Lose It
Regular physical activity helps regulate digestion and keeps your bowels moving efficiently. This reduces straining during bowel movements and can help prevent hemorrhoids. Aim for moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.
