The best juices for constipation are those made from fresh fruits and vegetables, which are rich in fiber and natural sugars. For example, these juices can be made from fresh celery, orange juice with pulp or carrot juice, according to the health website Healthline (USA).
Red plum juice can help reduce laxatives effectively
One of the first benefits of juicing is that it helps hydrate the digestive system. Dehydration can dry out stools and contribute to constipation. Additionally, some juices contain high levels of sorbitol, which has a laxative effect.
Sorbitol is an organic substance found in fruits such as apples, figs and peaches. It is considered an osmotic laxative, meaning it draws water from surrounding tissues into the intestines. This softens stools and reduces constipation.
Not only that, sorbitol also has the effect of stimulating the colon muscles, thereby helping to make bowel movements easier. The juices with the highest sorbitol content are pear, red plum and apple juice.
A study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology found that red bile contains pectin fiber, polyphenol antioxidants, and sorbitol. All of these, when combined, have a very good laxative effect. Study participants who drank red plum juice every day for 3 weeks saw a significant reduction in constipation. Moreover, they also did not experience the common side effects of laxatives such as diarrhea or loose stools.
In addition, experts also note that drinking water is essential for health and juice should not be used as the main source of water. Although juice is rich in minerals, vitamins, and fiber, it contains sugar. Drinking a lot will cause the body to take in a lot of calories. Moreover, for juice to effectively reduce constipation, you need to drink at least 2 to 3 liters of water per day, according to Healthline.
