short by / on Friday, 19 December, 2025
Dietitian Garima emphasises evidence that Indian superfoods rich in soluble and insoluble fibre, such as psyllium husk (ispaghula), green leafy vegetables, and seasonal fruits, can increase stool bulk and improve transit time in the colon. These foods support colonic motility and water retention in stools, which are key factors in relieving functional constipation.
