What to eat to relieve constipation

Constipation is commonly caused by a lack of fiber, dehydration, oily foods, and prolonged sitting. When digestion slows down, the intestines can become hard and difficult to pass through easily. Dr. L.H. Ghodakar explains that safflower contains fiber and pectin, which improve digestion and soften the stool. Consuming safflower daily can reduce constipation significantly. Papaya contains the enzyme papain, which speeds up digestion and helps clear the intestines. Eating papaya on an empty stomach can help relieve constipation.
