It is axiomatic that a happy rectum and a happy mind (and body) go hand in hand.

Tips to Avoid Anal Fissures

Anal fissures are the third most common condition of the rectum, but they don’t have to be.

Fight Hemorrhoids With Fiber

Unfortunately, hemorrhoids are a common problem for many people in Beverly Hills. In our fast paced society, preventative healthcare often gets pushed aside for more pertinent needs like hunger, clothing and cab fare. However, if you don’t take the time to eat a healthy diet and be wary of health risks, you could find yourself struck with an embarrassing and uncomfortable condition like hemorrhoids.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) & Omega Fats

Nutritionists refer to omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as “essential” fats because the body cannot produce them. The human body needs such omega fats to build healthy cells and maintain proper brain and nerve function. The only way the body can obtain these essential fats is from proper food sources. It’s widely known that consuming an adequate ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids is essential to overall health, especially for Los Angeles residents suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

How Weight Lifting Can Prevent Hemorrhoids

When lifting heavy weights many novices hold their breath and strain as they apply effort to the lift. Grunting as you hold your breath will force the air in your lungs down, increasing the pressure on your internal organs and, ultimately, the veins near your rectum that can swell and protrude as uncomfortable hemorrhoids. This buildup of abdominal pressure is similar to the pressure created when you strain to have a bowel movement, which is one of the most frequent causes of hemorrhoids.

Once you’ve established a solid set of strategies you can enhance your mood and learn to live beyond the boundaries of your disease.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) & Colon Cancer
