Natural Laxative Foods
Incorporate these foods into your daily lifestyle!
Fruits, vegetables, seeds, and foods that contain probiotics are natural stool softeners and can help you stay healthy and regular.
Here are Five of the top Natural Laxative Foods:
1. Apples and Pears: Provides high levels of fiber and water to help reduce inflammation in the digestive system, and also pectin which stimulates the bowels
2. Flax Seed: Source of fiber which adds bulk to the stool to help it pass through the intestines
3. Chia Seeds: Combined with a liquid, chia seeds form a gelatinous substance that moves easily through the intestines as a natural laxative
4. Aloe Vera: Increases intestinal water content, stimulates mucus secretion, and increases contractions to break down food
5. Green Leafy Vegetables: Provides fiber and magnesium (which is a needed electrolyte that softens stool and draws water from the gut)
