]]> Constipation—how can you prevent it and make sure you stay regular? You want to make sure you eat foods that are rich in fiber and drink lots of water. Fiber is a non-digestible carbohydrate that is found in plant foods and comes in two forms: soluble and insoluble. Soluble dissolves in water and insoluble doesn’t dissolve and forms a gel to create a softer stool for you to pass. Both are needed in your diet to keep you regular. Here are five foods to eat that are high in fiber that can prevent constipation.

Apples

Apples have 5g of fiber per fruit. They are a great snack food, and you can drizzle some peanut butter on them to make them tastier.

Whole Grains

A balanced diet should include lots of whole grains such as quinoa or oats which are rich in fiber and really filling. Try to eat oats in the morning and some quinoa for lunch to get your fiber quota for the day.

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are really high in fiber—they have 10g per ounce! They are easy to incorporate into your diet. Just add them to your granola or make a chia seed pudding for your breakfast.

Prunes

Prunes are regularly eaten for constipation as they have a high sorbitol content and contain 11g of fiber per cup. You can eat them on their own or blend into a filling smoothie.

]]> Jessica Simpson disclosed in a recent interview that she had been hospitalized for constipation. This revealed two things: one is that celebrities poop just like the rest of us, and the other is that constipation is no joke. 

Doctors and nutritionists recommend going at least once a day, but that doesn’t happen for everyone. If it occurs for a prolonged period, it can have a serious impact (ahem) on your colon. Follow these tips to put the bathroom struggle to bed.

Fiber

Fiber is your best friend when it comes to keeping things moving down below. Load up on fruits, veggies, whole grains, and legumes. It’s also helpful to throw in some natural laxatives like prunes, flaxseed, and psyllium husk. 

Water Works

Ever seen cement that hasn’t been mixed with enough water? Well, that’s what’s happening in your intestines. Hydration is super important to passing a number two, so drink, drink, drink! In fact, some people swear that drinking coffee makes them want to go.

Exercise All the Way

Regular exercise helps to stimulate your intestines and keeps your digestive system active. Basically, the more you move, the easier it is for your poop to move.

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.

]]> Passover is a wonderful time of year to celebrate with family and friends, but our gastrointestinal system doesn’t always feel the same… With matzah being a staple in most meals, it can be challenging to find ways to avoid constipation during the week-long holiday. Here are some practical ways to include fiber in your diet and keep your digestive system running smoothly.

Eat Your Fiber Early

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially during Passover. Start your day with fruit and nuts, and include dishes like matzah brei which is made with eggs. You can also snack on fiber-rich foods like apples, carrots, and dried fruit throughout the day. 

Keep Hydrated

Water is essential for healthy digestion. Aim for at least 8-10 glasses of H2O a day. You can also opt for herbal teas or other low-calorie beverages if you want some variety.

A Little Light Exercise

When you move, your insides move. Gentle exercise like walking or yoga can improve digestion and make it easier for you to “go”.

Miss Some Matzah

Yes, matzah is a massive part of Passover, but you don’t have to eat mountains of it. Limiting your intake of crackers during the week can prevent uncomfortable internal clogging.
