Watermelon
This sweet summer favorite might just be one of Mother Nature’s most surprising but effective natural laxatives to keep you regular because of its super high water content. Watermelon is about 99 percent water, so this is an excellent choice to keep your bowels moving. Water helps keep the food you eat moving through your intestines… and out of your body!
Okra
The slimy texture of this plant contains an excellent laxative property that ensures that bowel movements are regular and smooth. Mucilage lubricates and soothes the intestinal system to facilitate the easy elimination of waste materials. It is also a good source of dietary fiber, which benefits your digestive health.
Pro Tip: Eat 1 to 2 cups of okra a day to treat constipation. You can steam, bake, or boil it to retain most of its nutrients.
