Hemroids are definitely not contagious. They are 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 searching for how to get rid of hemroids. They most likely got them because of one or more of 4 reasons:
1. Deficiency of fiber in the diet. This can lead to infrequent bowel movements and hard stool. Straining to pass hard stool does harm to rectal tissues. Over time, this damage shows itself as hemroids. If you're not having 1-3 bowel movements daily, if your stool is hard lumps or not easy to pass, then you aren't consuming enough dietary fiber. Oat bran, wheat bran, flax seeds, whole wheat bread and the majority of vegetables and fruits can help. In fact, a hemorrhoid home remedy, one of the natural remedies for hemorrhoids, is to change over to a high-fiber diet.
2. Not enough exercise. Our bodies are marvelous, highly adaptable and efficient machines. 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 suffer a loss of hard healthy muscular tissues and increase fatty flab.
3. Poor diet. An excessive amount of low fiber processed foods, too much of your caloric intake in saturated fats, and too little vitamins, minerals, friendly bacteria and phytochemical substances that your body requires. This weakens your body and its tissues. Hemorrhoids are one of the effects.
Most of us do not get enough of the vitamins and minerals that only come from whole-foods or food supplements. Therefore our bodies lack the nourishment necessary to keep us strong and healthy. We need to eat healthy diets or take many supplements to avoid these deficiencies.
4. Sitting for extended periods in one position. This has a tendency to disrupt proper blood flow to posterior tissues, causing injury to veins and adjacent flesh. It can result in varicose vein effects and hemroids. If you must sit, move around. Stand up and move about frequently. And/or get a very good cushion that doesn't disrupt normal blood flow.
Whether or not you get hemorrhoids will depend largely on how well you maintain your body. Hemorrhoids are a direct result of poor body maintenance, as are obesity, type 2 diabetes, ulcers and a number of other too-common ailments.
It is really far 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 more affordable (and less painful) than "breakdown maintenance"!
