Cut back on fried foods and animal fats. Eat lean meats, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables and whole-grain foods. Avoid lactose (milk, ice cream, cheese, yoghurt); fruits like mangoes, apples and plums; legumes; corn syrup, sweeteners, wheat-based bread, cashews and pistachios.
A fibre-rich diet is very helpful in ensuring normal bowel movements and preventing haemorrhoids. Whole-grain foods, fruits, vegetables, pulses, whole-wheat bread and pasta are fibre-rich.
Limit or avoid alcohol and caffeine, as these can dysregulate normal bowel movements.
Exercising for 30 minutes daily can be very beneficial in staying fit and preventing the occurrence of piles. You may even break down your daily exercise regimen into bite-sized workouts or activities of 10 minutes each.
Avoid smoking, as this can hamper healing.
