Hemroids are not contagious. They're an acquired environmental affliction, brought on by misuse of or poor care of one's body. 50 % of people over 50 have the problem and are trying to find how to get rid of hemroids. They almost certainly got them as a result of one or more of 4 reasons:
1. Not enough fiber in the diet. This leads to irregular bowel movements and hard stool. Straining to pass hard stool does damage to rectal tissues. After a while, this damage shows itself as hemroids. When you are not having 1-3 bowel movements daily, if your stool is hard lumps or not easy to pass, then you are not getting enough dietary fiber. Oat bran, wheat bran, flax seeds, whole wheat bread and the majority of vegetables and fruits will help. In fact, a hemorrhoid home remedy, one of the natural remedies for hemorrhoids, is to change onto a high-fiber diet.
2. Not enough exercise. Our bodies are splendid, highly adaptable and efficient mechanisms. If we don't use them enough, with both aerobic and strength activities and exercises, they decline. They lose capacity to maintain and regenerate themselves. We drop off hard healthy muscle tissue and add more fatty flab.
3. Poor diet. Too much low fiber processed foods, too much of your caloric intake in saturated fats, and not enough vitamins, minerals, friendly bacteria and phytochemical substances that the body needs. This weakens the body and its tissues. Hemorrhoids are one of the results.
Most of us don't get enough of the vitamins and minerals that only come from whole-foods or nutritional supplements. Therefore our bodies lack the nourishment required to keep us strong and healthy. We need to eat healthy diets or take many supplements to prevent these deficiencies.
4. Sitting too long in the same position. This tends to disrupt correct blood flow to posterior tissues, causing harm to veins and adjacent flesh. It can lead to varicose vein effects and hemorrhoids. For those who must sit, move around. Get up and move about frequently. And/or get a very good cushion that doesn't disrupt normal blood flow.
Whether or not you will get hemorrhoids would depend mostly on how well you maintain your body. Hemorrhoids are a consequence of poor body maintenance, as are obesity, type 2 diabetes, ulcers and a number of other too-common ailments.
It's much better to take the time and expend the effort on maintaining your body in good condition, than to be worrying about how to heal hemorrhoids or how to get rid of hemroids!
"Preventive maintenance" is quite a bit cheaper (and less painful) than "breakdown maintenance"!
