Fresh fruit is an excellent remedy for constipation, as it is rich in fiber, particularly pectin. In cases of constipation, it is therefore advisable to increase fruit consumption. Some fruits are slightly more laxative than others: melon, for example. Oranges, pineapples and apples can also be eaten. Whenever possible, eat fruit with the skin, after washing it well: this is where most of the fiber is concentrated. Some fruit juices, such as apple juice, also have a laxative effect.

To combat constipation, many other nuts and oleaginous fruits are also excellent for transit. Coconuts and almonds, for example, are equally rich in fiber, as are peanuts and hazelnuts. If you suffer from constipation, don't hesitate to nibble on a few before your meal. But be careful not to overdo it, as these anti-constipation foods are generally quite high in calories.
