Therefore it is necessary to drink a lot and it is better if it is juices, fruit drinks, mineral water without gas, herbal teas.
- To products that improve the peristalsis of the intestine, include dried fruits - dried apricots, prunes, raisins, dates, etc. It is enough to eat a constipated handful of dried fruits and the problem will be solved by itself.
