Keeping the digestive system in working order requires some maintenance. Otherwise, we can experience constipation. It actually affects about 20% of American adults. This condition occurs when waste spends too much time in the colon. Consequently, the colon continues to extract water from the waste.
Some people instantly reach for commercial laxatives for relief. It may be easier to address the causes, which are usually lack of fiber, inadequate physical activity, IBS, and dehydration.
In today’s video we’ll look at how certain foods can prevent constipation.
Apples
Apples are one of the best organic ways to treat and prevent common constipation. Apples are a great source of natural fiber. The apple’s skin is rich in soluble fiber as well as other essential compounds that create a natural laxative effect. This makes it much easier for your digestive system to keep things moving.
The rich supply of pectin in apples bulks up the stool and activates elimination. Apples also contain sorbitol, an insoluble fiber. This type of fiber acts as a laxative.
Here are a few recipes you may want to try:

3. Apple Sauce
