Mountain Biking and indeed cycling in general is one of the most popular sports in the world. The reason for this is because there are so many things a bike can be used for, including competitive racing, getting to and from work each day or just as a bit of leisurely enjoyment. However, those who are keen cyclists are probably aware that if precautions aren t taken, there are a number of repetitive-strain injuries that can occur from cycling, especially mountain biking. Here we examine the causes and preventive measures for three of the most common cycling-related injuries:

Wrist Problems. A great deal of the force that is transmitted to the bike when you go over bumps travels up through the wrists. What s more, as your upper body weight is usually pushing down on your wrists, they can often be put under a lot of strain and become inflamed or injured.Having quality suspension on the front forks of the bike will reduce a lot of the pressure, or if you cannot have suspension, make sure the forks have shock absorbing qualities like you find on the Trek Madone.

Pain In The Backside. This is one of the most common complaints and is basically a result of repetitive pressure on the gluteus maximus (backside) muscle and surrounding sensitive areas. One problem that can result from bicycling is hemorrhoids. Bumpy trails and resultant shocks to the buttocks can result in this problem and certainly aggravate a hemorrhoids condition if it already exists. It is in every rider’s interest to address backside problems as soon as they can quickly become quite serious and even lead to problems with fertility. If you are going to buy a new saddle it is well worth testing it out extensively and giving it a few miles worth of use, as sometimes saddles can start off comfortable, but cause problems after a while. You can also purchase advanced cycle clothing such as padded shorts which act to dampen the effect of harmful pressure.

Knee Problems. Another common complaint among riders is knee injuries, inflammation and general soreness. There are bike settings that can aggravate this problem, such as having the saddle too high but generally it is caused by overuse and too much strain on the knees. Try making sure all your bike components have shock-absorbing qualities, such as Pinarello frames which reduce the amount of force transferred through the knee joint.

 Get Rid Of Hemorrhoids Now! 

Chili Peppers

It has been found that when you eat a lot of chili peppers
that you can get a burning sensation in the rectum or anus.
It is best to avoid eating too many peppers, especially if you
have an advance case of hemorrhoids. Peppers are actually
good for blood circulation and for healing ulcers.

It is always
the excess that creates problems in your body.

Here are some additional foods to avoid, which cause constipation.

Coffee
Alcohol
Bad Fats
Animal products
Red meat

Foods you should be eating to help relieve hemorrhoids

A high fiber diet obtained from raw fruits and vegetables is what you need to eat for eliminating and for preventing constipation. When you don’t have constipation, you won’t have hemorrhoids.

The amount of fiber you should be eating is 25 35 grams per day. Most people only eat about 8 – 12 grams per day.

If you have not been eating a lot of fiber, you need to add
fiber slowly to your diet, especially if you add it by using
bran. Increase your use of bran or other bran cereals over
a couple of weeks.

If you add fiber to your diet with fruits and vegetables, you can add them freely without much problem. However, since your stomach will not be use to it, you may experience more gas for a week or two. You can compensate for this by taking digestive enzymes to help you digest the extra produce.

The following list of juices and fruits are good for helping cure or relieve Hemorrhoids.

Juices

Juices are good for hemorrhoids but especially dark berry
juices mixed with equal parts of apple juice. The dark berry
juices to use are,

Cherries, blackberries, blueberries

These berries contain ‘anthocyanins’ and
‘proanthocyanidins’ which reduce hemorrhoidal pain and
Swelling by toning and strengthening the hemorrhoid
veins. Drink at least one glass of this juice mixture each day.

Cantaloupe

Cantaloupes are one of the best foods you can eat. It has a
good source of vitamins and minerals. It has a high beta-carotene
level and has anti-clogging properties.

Red and Black Currant Berries

Currants are high in Vitamin C, rutin, and minerals. This
makes their juice valuable in clearing hemorrhoids. The also
have a small amount of the fatty acid GLA, which produce
prostaglandin that control body pain.

This juice is also good for cleansing the liver and blood.
Good liver function is necessary for maintaining a healthy
colon, rectum and anus.

Drink 1 -2 glasses a day of red or black currant berries.

Pomegranate Juice

Although pomegranate juice may be hard to find, it is quite
useful in reducing hemorrhoids, because of its strong
astringency. Saturate a cotton ball with pomegranate juice
and push it slightly into your rectum.

If you have pinworms, the tannins in pomegranate juice will
help you get rid of them. You can also drink the juice.
During the summer I have on occasion found pomegranate
juice at a farmers market. It is slightly tart but it is easy to
drink. However, it’s hard to drink more than a glass full without
getting a stomach upset.

Oranges and bananas

Eat 2-3 oranges and 2 bananas a day. Oranges provide
vitamin C, bioflavonoids, and fiber. Bananas provide
minerals that help to strengthen tissue and have plenty of
fiber. Bananas can also be steamed to give more relief and even eliminate hemorrhoids. Steam two not quite ripe bananas with their peel until they are soft. Eat two in the morning and two in the evening.

Papaya

Papaya is an excellent fruit to eat. It has good mineral
content, fiber, and has enzymes to digest protein.

These are the fruits and juices to use to for relieving hemorrhoids. Adding more vegetables to your eating habits is also important to get more fiber. These fruits, juices, and vegetables will help you keep regular and provide pain and inflammation relief for your hemorrhoid symptoms
