Constipation relief: Start your day with this natural prune drink

Constipation is a bothersome issue that can affect anyone. Older adults, pregnant women, people leading a sedentary lifestyle, and those with a deficiency of fibre in their diets are particularly vulnerable. Instead of being embarrassed about the problem, it’s worth taking steps to address it—home remedies like a tasty and healthy prune drink work well here.

More and more people are complaining about problems with constipation. A sedentary lifestyle, a poor diet, insufficient fibre intake, or a large amount of processed food can challenge our intestines.

Fortunately, there are many ways to combat constipation. In addition to changing your diet and lifestyle, you can also try home remedies like a prune drink. When choosing prunes in the store, make sure they are not sulfur-treated. Otherwise, you will need to rinse them before use.

Prunes are rich in fibre, which helps regulate bowel movements and makes it easier to pass stools. They also contain vitamins and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, and B vitamins. Additionally, they have sorbitol, a natural laxative that further stimulates the intestines.

The drink's benefits do not end there. Prunes also contain antioxidants, which protect the body from the harmful effects of free radicals. This simple drink is a recipe for healthy intestines and provides a decent dose of nutrients.

Ingredients:

• 6-8 prunes
• 1 cup warm water (approx. 240ml)

Preparation:

1. In the evening, place the prunes in a glass and pour warm water over them.
2. Let them sit overnight to soften.
3. Blend the prunes with the water in the morning until you have a smooth drink.
4. Drink the beverage on an empty stomach.

This drink is not only a way to eliminate constipation but also a source of many valuable nutrients. It's worth trying to improve digestion and overall well-being.
