Making a number two is a natural daily activity for most of us, but for some, it is quite hard (no pun intended). If constipation is making you cranky, add these veggies to your diet. 

Broccoli

Remember when you were little and your mom told you to eat your broccoli? Well, she was onto something. Loaded with dietary fiber, you can find 5 grams per cup. Not only that, but chopping broccoli and allowing it to sit for an hour and a half before cooking, activates a substance called sulforaphane which aids in gut health.

Green Peas

Good things come in small packages. Nutritionists recommend getting around 28 grams of fiber per day, and a third of that can be found in one cup of cooked peas. The little guys contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, meaning they improve gut health while also helping you go.

Artichokes

Not only do artichokes make excellent dips, but they also help to get your digestive system moving. A prebiotic fiber known as inulin can be found in artichoke hearts. A recent study found that inulin enables your bowel to work more often, all the while decreasing harmful gut bacteria and increasing the good.
