Dietary
Kiwifruit (2 per day)
for Constipation
Eating 2–3 green kiwifruit daily has shown consistent effects on increasing bowel movement frequency and improving stool consistency.
How it works
Kiwifruit contains actinidin (a proteolytic enzyme), soluble fibre (pectin), and water — together accelerating gastric emptying, increasing stool bulk, and promoting peristalsis.
What to watch for
May cause oral allergy syndrome in those with latex or birch pollen allergy. Best eaten whole rather than juiced to preserve fibre content.
