Beans
Beans have resistant starch in them, which act as dietary fiber. The resistant starch coming from the beans not only aids digestion but also combats the situation of constipation. Resistant starch in beans increases the transit time of colon, thus giving the gut to digest the food completely. Beans also help in maintaining the healthy balance of the micro-organisms in your gut. Beans also act as laxatives for the digestive system, but their effectiveness is very mild. Despite the significance of beans for constipation, an increasing amount of bean intake also causes gas formation. So the need is to gradually increase the intake of beans by starting with two ounces daily.
