• Hemorrhoids – Hemorrhoids are inflamed blood vessels
found at the end of your digestive tract. Often painful and
itchy, they are caused by chronic constipation, diarrhea, or a
lack of fiber in your diet. Seventy-five percent of Americans
over the age of 45 suffer from hemorrhoids. Staying hydrated,
eating more fiber, or over-the-counter creams may provide
relief from hemorrhoids.
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) – Affecting 15 percent of
Americans, IBS is characterized by stomach pain or discomfort
at least three times a month for several months. Symptoms
vary widely with IBS, making it hard to determine the exact
cause. Treatment focuses mostly on diet, eliminating common
trigger foods such as dairy, alcohol, caffeine, artificial
sweeteners and beans. Doctors also recommend a diet high in
fiber and consumption of probiotics found in yogurt.

health, so a healthy diet, exercise, and drinking lots of water will
do wonders. But keep in mind: there are other ways to make your
skin shine bright!
• Wear sunscreen.
• Get a full night’s sleep.
