Answer 2

Leafy vegetables like spinach (palak), fenugreek (methi), lettuce (salad leaves) and cabbage (gobi) are extremely rich in dietary fibre, making them a superb natural remedy and natural laxative to treat constipation. Studies have shown that both soluble and insoluble fibre play an important role in regulating digestion. Soluble fibre absorbs water from the digestive tract and become viscous and gelatinous in nature, thereby improves stool consistency. They are then acted upon by bacteria thriving in the digestive tract to get fermented. Insoluble fibre adds bulk to the diet and performs the role of cleansing the digestive tract. It kind of sweeps the colon as it moves through the digestive system, allowing normal evacuation of the bowels. However, adding dietary fibre to the diet may only work for those with mild to moderate constipation. If you have chronic constipation that is causing other complications it would be better to visit a gastroenterologist and get proper treatment.
