Flaxseeds
Flaxseeds acts as natural laxatives in the body and provide relief for the situation of constipation. A tablespoon of flaxseeds almost contains 2 grams of fiber. The fiber coming from the flaxseeds is a mix of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Both types of fiber help in first bulking up of the stool to allow smooth passage and second form a paste to provide with necessary lubrication. The problem is that if you use the flaxseeds as a whole, they do not provide any benefits to the body and just pass out from the body. The most effective way to use flaxseeds is to make a granular powder of the seeds and use it in every dish you like. You can use flaxseed powder in your fruit bowl or pop some powder in your smoothies to gain the benefits of flaxseeds.
