It's easier than you'd think to prevent hemorrhoids. With a little exercise, attention to diet, and a change in habits, you can become hemorrhoid-free.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Willpower
Self-discipline

Warning: Consult your physician before you change your diet or begin an exercise plan.

Step 1: Drink at least eight glasses of water per day to reduce the risk of dehydration, which is a major cause of hemorrhoids.

Step 2: Eat foods that are high in fiber, such as grains, cereals, and raw vegetables. Fiber helps keep things moving regularly and smoothly.

Tip: Limit your consumption of red meat, starch, and other foods lacking in fiber content. Just say no to coffee and alcohol.

Step 3: Exercise moderately for 20 to 30 minutes per day to stimulate bowel function.

Step 4: Move around to facilitate blood flow. If you have to sit or stand for long periods of time, try to take short breaks every couple of hours.

Step 5: Don't wait to use the bathroom. If you have to use it, go as soon as possible. While you're on the toilet, relax; straining will only aggravate symptoms.

Tip: Schedule a regular time of day to use the toilet. Regular habits are an important part of digestive health.

Step 6: Focus on diet, regular exercise, drinking lots of water, and good bathroom routines. You will prevent hemorrhoids while improving your health.
