When people are asked to describe “sedentary lifestyle”, they often describe a fat person, sitting on a sofa the whole day, watching TV and consuming bags of potato chips.

A lifetime ago, I was living in Washington, D.C., working in corporate America, waking up at 6 am, rushing with my coffee while I brushed my teeth and put on my pinstripe suit and yellow power tie, and drove to work, arriving before rush hour. Then came more anxiety for rest of the night, usually a sleepless one.

A coronary, a burst appendicitis, a dysfunctional vagus nerve (requiring an implant) and a myriad of other health problems, put me out to pasture, and, doctors said I would not be working again. I felt my life had come to an end.

Piles are a common and very uncomfortable condition caused by swelling of the veins in the anus. When these veins are scraped by hard stools they will bleed, which produces the most common symptoms of piles, anal bleeding. Blood that is present on the stool, on the toilet paper after wiping, or that drips into the toilet is a sign of piles. Itching, burning, pain, and swelling are also symptoms of piles and while they are not usually serious they can be very uncomfortable and cause most people to seek some type of treatment.

Promises of instant radiance, brilliance, shine, youthful are some of the many quality statements the beauty industry makes. Increasingly, we are chemical-wary and research has found that we would rather go back to basics sickened by anti-ageing, chemically produced creams and lotions giving us that artificial boost.
