What to Eat to Cure Hemorrhoids

Foods to heal hemorrhoids should be rich in fiber like fruits, vegetables and whole care because they favor intestinal transit and facilitate the elimination of feces, reducing pain and discomfort.

In addition, you should drink at least 2 liters of water per day as the fluids increase the hydration of the stool and reduce the effort to defecate, avoiding the common bleeding that occurs in hemorrhoids.
