9. Apples
Because they are high in fiber, apples aid digestive health as well. Almost 130 grams provide 3 grams of fiber (a medium-sized apple has nearly 170 grams). Another thing that checks the relieving-constipation box is a type of soluble fiber called pectin.
And yes, you guessed—it acts as a natural laxative. A recent study demonstrated that this type of soluble fiber could accelerate transit time. Moreover, it also acts as a prebiotic by maximizing the number of beneficial bacteria found in the gut.
In conclusion, if you suffer from frequent constipation, eat an apple a day (it will keep Dulcolax away).
