An appendicitis is caused by fecal matter blocking the appendix. It is postulated, therefore, that an overall healthy lifestyle will lower the risk of an appendicitis.
Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables will not only give your gut flora the prebiotic treats that they love, but it will also promote efficient bowel movements which is essential to a healthy appendix. This can be aided by good exercise habits and drinking plenty of water.
If you do develop an appendicitis, removal of the appendix is not likely to be the doctor's first choice anymore due to the recent realization of the importance of the appendix. It's still possible that some doctors may stick to that tradition, but thank God many are opening their eyes.
