1. Prunes (Dried Plums)
Prunes are widely known as one of the most powerful natural laxatives. They are rich in insoluble fiber and sorbitol, a natural sugar that draws water into the intestines, helping soften stool and stimulate movement.
How to use them:
Eat 3ā5 prunes in the morning, add them to yogurt or cereal, or drink a small glass of prune juice.
2. Kiwi
Kiwi is a fiber-rich fruit that also contains actinidin, an enzyme that supports digestion and intestinal transit. Studies suggest that eating two kiwis daily can improve bowel movement frequency, especially for people with chronic constipation.
Helpful tip:
Eat kiwi on an empty stomach for best results.
