Light Exercise

One of the fasted roads to recovery from hemorrhoids is to get your body on a regular bathroom schedule. That means eating more fiber and drinking more water. Life gets busy and it can be hard to find time but putting time aside for exercise is another big step towards becoming regular. Working out for about a half hour, three or four times a week will almost immediately yield positive results. It’s not like you’ve gotta run a marathon or lift a ton of weights either. Even something as easy as a brisk walk can mix up the bowels enough to start moving the train along. A series of bends and stretches can get the job done as well which makes yoga a prime candidate for constipated, hemorrhoid ravaged individuals.

As the work world continues to move toward a computer, office, desktop type environment, we see more and more people sitting for long periods of time. Couple this with a daily commute and we’ve got a serious problem on our hands. Sitting actually puts kinks into our intestinal tracts. It’s pretty much the same premise as with a garden hose. If you bend it too far, the hose crimps and nothing comes out. Only after you straighten that hose out will water flow freely. By moving more, walking more, stretching more and sweating more, your hemorrhoids will soon be a thing of the past.
