According to Internet stats 1/2 the population will suffer with Hemorrhoids!

That’s a huge number of us.

Hemorrhoids are caused by veins protruding from the anus, caused by over straining when on the toilet, due to constipation. Are so many of us constipated?!

I use to be as a child, raised on a farm on a high meat diet, it’s no surprise. Now I have  transformed my diet to an alkaline one, (no meat) I have no problems with constipation or IBS.

Why does meat make us constipated? The digestive system is long and slow, about 20-23 feet long, designed to absorb fibrous plant food.

A canines digestive system is short and fast designed for meat.

Our bodies cannot digest meat, instead we ferment it, that’s right the meat stays in us until it starts to rot! Sounds nice doesn’t it! Meat stays in our digestive system for about 3 days! When food should be out in about 12 hours (which you find on a plant based diet). If you eat 3 meals a day you should poo 3 times a day. Are you?

So the next time you it meat think about what it could be doing inside your body and when you strain on the toilet remember what causes piles!
