Some Simple Home Remedies for Hemorrhoids

Fiber is not broken down by the digestive process and thus, it passes right through without being absorbed. So you might wonder why bother then? Fiber actually performs a variety of important functions to help us stay healthy.

Fiber comes in two varieties and each has importance in helping us maintain health. The first is soluble fiber and its job is to slow the passage of food through the intestines, allowing for more absorption of nutrients. By dissolving in water it forms a gel which helps keep the stool soft. Good foods for soluble fiber include fruits, vegetables and beans.

Insoluble fiber comes from the cell walls of grains, beans and vegetables. It provides bulk which helps us feel full with less food, and also aids in the movement of food through the intestines. Also, it increases stool bulk benefiting people who have problems with constipation.

Here are some benefits to a high fiber diet:

Helps us lose weight by taking longer to chew and it makes a meal feel larger and linger longer in the stomach.

Aids in controlling blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of sugar.

Can reduce low density lipoprotein, the bad cholesterol.

Prevents constipation by increasing the size of the stool and keeping it soft.

Lowers the risk of hemorrhoids and irritable bowel syndrome.

So we need a balanced nutrition of protein, carbohydrate, fat and fiber. Rope, clothes and food. Fiber is great stuff, indeed!

Everybody has what's called a toxic threshold. Everybody's is different, and the amount of toxins each person can absorb before their body starts to break down varies. For example, maybe I can absorb 1 million toxins on a daily basis and you can absorb 2 million. Where do all these toxins come from anyway? Well we could go on all day about that, it all depends on each person's environment and what they are exposed to. Let's say I absorb 500,000 toxins a day from the food I eat, 200,000 from the air I breath, 100,000 from prescription drugs I need to take etc.

The problem is, most people are absorbing more toxins than they are getting rid of on a daily basis. And if these toxins are not naturally removed from the body they end up being stored up inside our colon, and it is only an amount of time before our body starts to break down because of it all.

It was not long ago, when my body started to completely deteriorate. It did not happen overnight but things were becoming worse over time. Everyday was a struggle for me, I felt bloated and my bowel movements were becoming irregular. Before I knew it, I was starting to experience constipation from time to time and everything just went down hill from there. I was always tired, I couldn't sleep well and getting out of bed in the morning was always a struggle.

I'm a pretty young guy, and I could not understand why I was feeling so unhealthy. Even my skin was breaking out with rashes. To top things off, my immune system had become weak and I was frequently getting sick. I looked like a mess and I definitely felt that way. I needed coffee in the morning and Red Bulls throughout the day for energy to make it through the work week. Laxatives had become a temporary fix for the constipation and I had to use prescription creams for the reoccurring rashes on my body.
