11. Rhubarb

Are you friends with rhubarb? This perennial vegetable contains sennoside A, a compound that acts as a natural laxative. Wondering how it works? This compound minimizes the levels of a protein called AQP3 that is responsible for regulating stool water content.

So, this is how sennoside A benefits your bowel movements. On top of that, sennoside A increases water absorption; therefore, you’ll have softened stool.


Rhubarb can also brag about having a fair amount of fiber. Nearly 122 grams of this vegetable packs 2.2 grams. Now… Where’s that rhubarb pie?!
