Chronic constipation/ Consume 2-3 kiwis a day

Kiwi, rye bread and mineral-rich water may help relieve chronic constipation, according to new dietary guidelines co-published October 13 by the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics and Neurogastroenterology & Motility.

About 1 in every 6 to 7 people worldwide are affected by chronic constipation. In the United States, 9% to 20% of adults have a form of idiopathic chronic constipation, in which the cause of the condition is unknown.

Some symptoms of chronic constipation include having fewer than three bowel movements per week, hard or grainy stools, and straining or pain during bowel movements.

How kiwi can keep constipation away

Certain lifestyle choices or situations, such as low fiber intake, dehydration, lack of exercise, or stress, can cause constipation. As a result, doctors focus most of their treatment on dietary changes.

Previous dietary advice was broad, such as telling patients to eat more fiber. But these new guidelines, Dimidi said, suggest “incorporating evidence-based foods and beverages into your diet, such as eating 2-3 kiwis a day.”

Unlike other recommended foods like prunes, kiwi is easy to include in your diet.

Kiwifruit can increase stool volume and water content, improve protein digestion, and facilitate the movement of food, fluids, and waste through the digestive tract. The small fruit also improves the time it takes for waste to pass through the intestines and has natural prebiotic effects, such as improved digestion and reduced intestinal inflammation.

Foods such as prunes, rye bread, flax seeds, oranges, yogurt, beans, and oatmeal can also help with chronic constipation./ CNA
