if you have a job with a lot of sitting, get up frequently and walk a little bit. You may also prevent it from spreading further by increaing your fluids. Avoid poppy seeds, nuts etc. Increase your fiber as well. Watch everything that you eat and decide if it is healthy before you eat it. Reduce your fats too.
