Constipation: Here are 3 natural remedies that facilitate intestinal transit, according to a dietitian.

The health expert admits that it’s not her favorite food for constipation. For this reason, she recommends “not overdoing it.” She acknowledges, however, that “caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. This caffeine can increase stimulation of the intestinal muscles and promote peristalsis, or bowel movements.” That’s not all, caffeine also has “a diuretic effect, promoting water absorption in the urine, rather than in the colon. Consequently, it leaves enough water for stool formation.”
