Kiwi: A Natural Solution for Relieving Constipation

Nutrition Education
gastrointestinal issues

Did you know that studies show kiwi is one of the top choices for relieving constipation? In a study comparing kiwi, prunes, and psyllium, kiwi emerged as the most effective option for promoting regular bowel movements. Here are just a few benefits of eating two green kiwis a day:

  • Natural Relief: Increased weekly bowel movements without the struggle.
  • Consistency: Improved stool texture and reduced straining.
  • Reduced Bloating: A noticeable decrease in discomfort.

While prunes and psyllium can offer similar results, many people find kiwi to be a tastier and easier solution! Keep in mind that this kiwi boost may take a couple of weeks to show full benefits. If constipation persists, it’s important to investigate the underlying cause.

Our office takes a natural, holistic view of wellness, always focusing on the root cause of your health concerns. Contact our team to see if we’re the right fit to help you feel your best!
