The 5 Most Laxative Foods in the World

2. Kiwi

Kiwi is a fiber-rich fruit that also contains actinidin, an enzyme that supports digestion and intestinal transit. Studies suggest that eating two kiwis daily can improve bowel movement frequency, especially for people with chronic constipation.

Helpful tip:
Eat kiwi on an empty stomach for best results.

3. Flaxseeds

Flaxseeds are high in soluble fiber and mucilage, which help lubricate the intestines. When mixed with liquid, they form a gel that increases stool volume and makes passage easier.

How to use them:
Soak whole or ground flaxseeds in water for at least 8 hours. Drink the mixture in the morning on an empty stomach.
