There isn’t a precise number of times you should have bowels movements, but if you’re going less than three times a week, you’re constipated. And while sometimes it’s medication you need, there are plenty of foods to help keep your digestion on track.
Apples
You know what they say. An apple a day adds fibre to your stool!
Vegetables
Sweet potatoes, corn, spinach, broccoli, and cauliflower. Eating vegetables is one of the easiest ways to add fibre to your diet.
Lentils
Did you know just one cup of boiled lentils contains 9 grams of fibre?
Prunes
High in fibre, sorbitol, and phenolic compounds. Prunes should be at the top of your grocery list.
Beans
Many believe beans cause excessive gas. But in reality, the more you eat, the less gas you’ll experience.
