Physical activity increases blood circulation. This way, the nutrients needed by our body are transferred to every part of our body, including the anus, in a more efficient and smooth way. And what are vital for strengthening of the rectal veins are nutrients. They also help to alleviate the inflammation of the affected area.
Which exercise is best?
If you suspect that you are vulnerable to developing hemorrhoid symptoms, you should try to increase your physical activity. What kind of activity will suit your purpose best? Here are some hints on which exercise work better at hemorrhoid prevention. Research shows that people with strong muscle tone are less likely to get hemorrhoids. Toned muscles mean firm yet flexible muscles. To get a better muscle tone you should take up the following sports activities:
Help in Muscle toning
- - Swimming
- - Running
- - Yoga
- - Pilates
- - Walking
- - Aerobics
- Reverse Stomach Suck - This targets the stomach muscles. Put your body in a push-up position making your hands and knees as support. Now inhale and suck your stomach in. Hold the sucking in for 30 seconds.
- Spinal Stretch - Lie down on your stomach. Straighten your arms forward raising your shoulders and head off the ground. Hold the position for 30 seconds. This is beneficial to the spines.
These activities are the best muscle toners. You should try any kind of exercise that works on the abdominal area. Sphincter exercise is another wise way to prevent the development of hemorrhoids. Staying active reduces pressure on veins. Pressure on veins is usually accumulated during long periods of standing or sitting. Exercise helps you lose weight and indirectly aims at one of the major reasons for getting hemorrhoids – overweight. When involved in active physical activity, you should take as much water as possible to help you in your pursuit in faster and efficient passing of food through the intestines.
Lately, this exercise has become very popular in the fight against hemorrhoid formation. This is a simple effort – you just need to contract and relax alternately the buttocks muscles. This exercise makes the sphincter area where hemorrhoids tend to occur, stronger and better toned. You can perform the buttocks press any time and anywhere – at home, in the queue or while driving.
The most basic type of everyday hemorrhoids prevention
Walking or jogging for 20 minutes daily can be the first thing in the morning. If you prefer home exercise, you can do aerobics. Another good exercise for hemorrhoids is yoga. If you take up yoga regularly, it will stretch you muscles and revive you circulation. What is more, there are certain yoga positions which focus on the sphincter area and thus work for the prevention of hemorrhoid development. What type of exercise to be avoided?
People who have already got hemorrhoids should avoid biking because it increases the pressure on the rectal area. It is not recommended to practice weight-lifting as well. This exercise puts strain on the lower back and can worsen the hemorrhoids.
