10. Olive Oil
It seems that olive oil has laxative properties too. In fact, olive oil acts as a lubricant laxative, offering a coating in the rectum in order to make it easier to poop. Besides, it also stimulates the small intestine to accelerate transit.
Studies have shown that olive oil consumption works great for both constipation and diarrhea. However, in a quite recent study, experts mixed olive oil with a colon-cleansing formula and discovered that the combination was even more effective than consuming olive oil alone.
Plus, olive oil benefits your body in many ways. From preventing cardiovascular issues to improving metabolism, reducing cancer risk, and relieving inflammation, olive oil is strongly associated with a better and healthier life.
