An apple...or two a day keeps constipation away

No...I'm not promoting apple products such as iphones, ipads or any other, it's not a commercial post. It's the sweet fruit, that we loved since childhood, that prevents us from constipation. Nobody wants constipation, but sometimes it strikes us, and some of us are dealing with this severe problem for years. In some chronic situations it's possible that apples might not help and the help of the doctor is highly recommended, but for the occasionally hard times that we might face apples can be very helpful.

How does this works?

When you consume apples with their peels, you are actually having a fibrous diet which is necessary to reduce symptoms of constipation in your body. In fact they reduce the growth of colonic bacteria which is responsible for inducing constipation thus making things better for you.
Consuming adequate fiber is a simple method of relieving constipation, and apples are ideal because of their high fiber content. According to scientific studies adults should consume around 30 grams of total dietary fiber per day, and one or two apples can quickly help you work towards achieving this goal. Always eat your apple with its skin on, as the skin holds a significant amount of the fruit's fiber.

Why is fiber so important?

The fiber in an apple is made up of soluble and insoluble fiber, both of which play a role in relieving constipation and allowing you to have a healthy bowel movement. Apples have about 64 percent insoluble fiber and 36 percent soluble fiber. Soluble fiber develops a gel consistency in your body, which helps digestion by slowing it down. Insoluble fiber, meanwhile, enhances the bulk of your stool to help it move through your digestive system.
Now that we know how we can get rid of the unpleasant constipation we might make a habit in eating apples daily. Preferably it is to search for the "bio" ones that don't have chemicals...or just pick them from the tree if you have any.

It's the simple things in life that make us happy and healthy.
Thanks for reading and be real! Keep your eyes open!
Peace!...and don't forget the apples.
