Five Nourishing Allies for Digestive Ease
1. Prunes (Dried Plums)
Why they may help: Prunes provide both soluble and insoluble fiber, as well as sorbitol, a naturally occurring sugar alcohol that draws water into the bowel. Together, these properties can help soften stools and support regular bowel movements.
How to enjoy them: Soak 3–4 prunes overnight and eat them in the morning, along with the soaking liquid. Have a glass of water as well. Whole prunes generally provide more fiber than prune juice alone.
