If you’re looking for a natural remedy for occasional constipation, one of the better-supported choices is kiwifruit. 🥝
-
Fiber: helps add bulk and support regular bowel movements.
-
Water: its high water content contributes to softer stools.
-
Actinidin: a kiwi enzyme that may support digestion.
-
Research: studies suggest that eating around 2 green kiwis daily can improve stool frequency and consistency in some people with constipation.
Other simple options include prunes/prune juice, adequate fluids, vegetables, whole grains, and gradually increasing dietary fiber.
If constipation is persistent, severe, or accompanied by blood in the stool, unexplained weight loss, severe abdominal pain, or vomiting, it’s important to seek medical advice rather than relying on a home remedy.
