Eight foods that instantly relieve constipation

With a sedentary lifestyle and bad eating habits, more and more people suffer from irregular bowel movements.

There are many reasons that can lead to constipation, including stress and digestive problems, but bad eating habits are the biggest culprit.

So, there is a group of foods that can help you reduce constipation symptoms. However, consult your doctor if you have chronic constipation.

strawberry

Strawberries are known for their ability to strengthen the immune system, as they are rich in vitamin C. The high amount of soluble fiber found in strawberry seeds helps to relieve constipation naturally. A handful of strawberries a day is enough to help with bowel movements.

yogurt

Although dairy products tend to worsen constipation symptoms, yogurt can reduce them. This is because it contains probiotics, which are good bacteria that keep your intestinal system healthy.

Plums

Prunes contain sorbitol, which also serves as a laxative, aiding in bowel movements.

oatmeal

Perhaps the most popular breakfast option after eggs, oatmeal helps those who suffer from constipation.

Flax seeds

Flax seeds are packed with nutrients. Just one tablespoon of flax seeds contains 3 grams of fiber, which is 8-12% of the recommended daily intake for men and women, respectively. You can add flax seeds to many meals and smoothies.

Black beans

A cup of black beans provides your body with more than 15 grams of soluble fiber, which plays a vital role in bowel movements.

Broccoli

Broccoli contains about 10% of the recommended daily intake of dietary fiber, ensuring healthy digestion.

Almonds

 Rich in healthy fats, almonds are packed with nutrients, including soluble fiber. However, moderation is advised. Aim to eat no more than a handful of almonds per day.

If you are experiencing chronic constipation, adding these foods to your diet will not help. Visit your doctor as soon as possible and review your lifestyle and eating habits to encourage healthy bowel movements.
