Crohn's Disease Can Be Avoided - Just Squat

 Crohn's disease is a chronic (ongoing) disorder that causes inflammation of the digestive or gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Although it can involve any area of the GI tract from the mouth to the anus, it most commonly affects the small intestine and/or colon.

Crohn's and a related disease, ulcerative colitis, are the two main disease categories that belong to a larger group of illnesses called inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

According to www.ddfa.org (Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America): “For reasons that are not yet clearly understood, IBD is largely a disease of the developed world, and is found principally in the U.S. and Europe. Similarly, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are reported to be more common in urban than in rural areas, and in northern than in southern climates. Moreover, the frequency of disease increases when specific groups of people move from underdeveloped to developed countries, and vice versa.”
