Constipation is not always linked to what you eat … but very often what you do not eat. And despite the misconceptions, swallowing any fruit is not enough to relaunch a lazy intestine. The secret? Make the right choicesaccording to the recommendations of specialists in the digestive system.
Fresh fig: the richest in summer fibers
She is the star of summer ends, often neglected in favor of more popular fruits. However, fresh fig is one of the fruit most concentrated in dietary fiberwith almost 2.5 g per 100 g. These are mainly soluble fibers, which swell in the intestine by holding water, thus facilitating evacuation.
What doctors particularly appreciate is also the presence of natural digestive enzymeslike ficine, which gently stimulate intestinal activity. Result: a gentle laxative effect, without irritation, and without dependence.
It is preferably tasted between August and September, whole, in salad or simply with a spoon.
What if it’s not the season? Dry figs are just as effective: more concentrated in fiber (10 g per 100 g), they can be consumed all year round, ideally rehydrated for more digestive sweetness.
Kiwi: a fruit that really accelerates transit
Small but strong, the kiwi is not content to be a vitamin C bomb. It contains about 3 g of fibers per 100 g, and especially actinidine, an enzyme that promotes protein digestion and stimulates intestinal activity.
In a clinical study conducted in New Zealand, 2 kiwis per day made it possible to improve the frequency and regularity of transit in patients with chronic constipation-without side effects.
It is still in season until May in France (especially in the southwest), but it is found all year round in imported version. To consume raw, in salad, or at the small spoon.
@dr.matthieu.cantet Green Kiwi is a very effective natural remedy against constipation. In fact, consuming two green kiwis per day helps lighten constipation in people with an irritable intestine syndrome (SII), according to an international study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology. Very rich in fibers, this fruit is also in raffia, which would promote the intestinal production of mucine, to the laxative effect. The results of this study also show an improvement in quality of life, as well as a drop in the score of severity of gastrointestinal symptoms.
