Kiwis
Eating kiwifruit has also been shown to improve and treat hemorrhoids. One portion of kiwi has an adequate amount of water and three grams of fiber. It has a laxative effect, making stools bulkier and moving them through the digestive tract easier. This decreases the time required for the colon to transit. Kiwifruits also contain the enzyme zyactinase, which has been shown to improve and aid the digestive process and hence may help alleviate the symptoms of hemorrhoids.
In several clinical investigations, the consumption of kiwifruit was shown to be effective in improving the frequency of bowel movements. This is because they contain a significant volume of fibers and possess unusual qualities due to the makeup of their insoluble and soluble fibers. When soluble fiber passes through the digestive tract, it absorbs water and expands, which results in softer stools that are easier to pass.
Kkiwi also has anti-inflammatories and antioxidant properties that may help reduce the swelling in external hemorrhoids. This not only minimizes the symptoms but is also beneficial for overall health.
