9 natural remedies for constipation that’ll do you a solid

I talked to Well+Good about how to stay regular in this article about constipation:

Not to worry, toilet-challenged comrades, because there are a wealth of reasons that may explain the poop-light plight. “For the most part, constipation is caused by poor diet, not enough fiber, too much fiber without enough water, and physical inactivity,” says nutritionist Maya Feller, RD…

Fibrous fruits, vegetables, and other foods are an excellent way to get things moving. “Fiber adds bulk to stools, helping it to move more quickly through the GI,” says Feller. So during your next grocery-store run, load up on fibrous, constipation-busting staples like prunes (dried or fresh), strawberries, beans, whole grain products, and broccoli. Then meal-prep a whole week of constipation-combatting winners.
