The 5 Most Laxative Foods in the World: Natural Remedies to Combat Constipation

1. Dried plums (or dehydrated plums)

Prunes are universally recognized as one of the most powerful natural laxatives . Rich in insoluble fiber and sorbitol , a sugar that draws water into the intestines, they help soften stools and facilitate evacuation.

How to use them:
Eat 3-5 prunes in the morning or add them to yogurt and cereal. Alternatively, prune juice is equally effective.

2. Kiwi

Kiwi is a tropical fruit with a very high fiber content and an enzyme called actinidin , which aids digestion and stimulates intestinal transit. Clinical studies have shown that eating two kiwis a day can significantly improve bowel movement frequency, especially in those with chronic constipation.

Helpful Tip:
Take it on an empty stomach for maximum effect.
