First, kiwifruit
Kiwi contains dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, folic acid, carotene and other nutrients, and its rich dietary fiber is almost the highest quality in fruits. These dietary fibers can help people digest the intestines and stomach, absorb and take away many harmful substances and greasy fat in the intestines, and have good effects of clearing away heat and reducing fire, moistening dryness and relaxing bowels.
Second, apples
Organic acids (such as malic acid) contained in apples have the effect of promoting intestinal peristalsis. The water-soluble fiber (such as gum) contained in apples has the effects of protecting intestinal mucosa, activating beneficial bacteria in the intestine and regulating gastrointestinal function. Therefore, people often eat apples to clean the intestines and prevent constipation.
Third, strawberries
Strawberry is rich in fructose, sucrose, citric acid, malic acid, pectin and other substances, which has the effects of moistening dryness, promoting fluid production, regulating gastrointestinal function, reducing blood lipid and preventing constipation.
Fourth, bananas
Banana is rich in dietary fiber and sugar, which has a good laxative effect.

Grapefruit contains dietary fiber, protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, carotene and other nutrients, which has the effect of clearing the intestines and relaxing bowels. If constipation patients eat some grapefruit with thick and juicy skin, their stools can often be unobstructed immediately.
