Using Food To Relieve Constipation
An endless array of advice exists with reference to diet. This is bad for you, that's worse, and don't even smell that! Much of what we eat and don't eat can lead to constipation. Lack of exercise can also lead to this result. Those who have suffered from constipation can testify to the level of discomfort this can bring. The question is what foods can we use to relieve the symptoms of this malady.
There are numerous foods that can prove beneficial in the relief of constipation symptoms. We can benefit greatly from exploring these options. Two of these foods are dates and figs; they are very high in fiber and thus useful to constipation sufferers. Being high in minerals and fiber, these fruits aid the digestion process and can banish constipation within hours.
One or two pounds of grapes eaten on a daily basis will also be helpful in reducing the incidence of constipation. This fruit is high in vitamins, minerals and fiber and its skin contains the anti-oxidant resveratrol. These facts make grapes a very healthy way to relieve constipation.
Papaya is another excellent choice in this area. It contains lots of fiber and when ripe is very easily digestible. The protein-digesting enzymes papain and chymopapain are incredibly helpful in creating and maintaining a free flowing system. It is also high in anti-oxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta carotene which produce excellent results in reducing inflammation and improving overall health. Papaya can be used as part of a healthy breakfast, a quick snack or can be added to delicious smoothies.
Persimmons are high in fiber (3.6g per 100g) and minerals like, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. In addition they contain substantial amounts of vitamin A, vitamin C and folate. As a result, this bright orange little fruit stands out from other substances that produce just a laxative effect. Not only does it relieve constipation but the persimmon also revitalizes the body with the nutrients it needs to function at its best. That this fruit enriches any diet is an understatement.
Raspberries make it to this list because of their richness in vitamins A and C. The minerals magnesium, iron and calcium also fortify this dark fruit. This fragile and tasty little fruit can not only make constipation disappear quickly but can also replenish your vitamin reserve.
Last on the list are prunes. If there ever was a fruit superpower, this would be it. These babies are incredible for constipation relief. I think just about everyone has heard of them for that same reason. Each prune is forty percent insoluble fiber which makes life very easy on the lower intestine in waste elimination. Prunes outrank any existing vegetable or fruit in antioxidant content, not to mention the eighteen body fortifying vitamins and minerals. Among them are folic acid, vitamin E, vitamin B6, vitamin A, zinc, selenium, thiamine, potassium, sodium, riboflavin, phosphorous, pantothenic acid, niacin, manganese, magnesium, iron, copper and calcium. Ounce for ounce no other food can outdo the prune. So introduce yourself to the prune and enjoy a free flowing colon. - 17274
