Prunes and fiber

How to do it

A few prunes a day, plus fruit, vegetables, beans and whole grains. Add fiber slowly and drink water with it.

What we know

Prunes and fiber have been studied for regularity and comfort.

Be careful if

you have a gut condition, or adding fiber quickly makes you bloated. Go slow.
