As if stress, daily hardships, isolation and pandemics weren’t enough, many of us also have to deal with constipation. It’s bad to say, but not going to the bathroom to expel regularly can become a problem in the long run. According to statistical data, one in four Italians suffers from the so-called “intestinal irregularity”. Its causes are many and vary mainly from poor nutrition, stress, up to a series of psychosomatic symptoms. A quick fix is available through medication, but we can beat constipation with these tasty vegetables on the table. They are real natural laxatives, which will also give us the pleasure of cooking. Let’s see them together with our Editorial Experts.
Grilled vegetables
We have always been taught, rightly so, that a diet rich in fibre and vitamins, therefore fruit and vegetables, is the first input for intestinal regularity. We cite for example the kiwi, whose benefits in this regard are recognized worldwide. But beware that apples, raw or cooked, are also an excellent natural laxative. However, we want to focus on grilled vegetables, which many appreciate for their taste, but few know for their evacuating virtues. In fact, grilled aubergines, onions, zucchini and peppers, seasoned with a drop of extra virgin olive oil, are the best to allow us to go to the bathroom regularly. Likewise, they work in a boiled version, even if they are much less tasty. Let’s not forget that a bowl of salad and radicchio is also beneficial for our purpose. Here’s how to beat constipation with these flavorful vegetables.
