25 Foods To Eat To Avoid Constipation

20. Rhubarb

Rhubarb is not exactly the most popular of veggies, but that’s probably because of their very tart flavor and the fact that it can be toxic if consumed in large quantities. But considering that this leafy green packs a powerful nutritional punch, it surely doesn’t deserve to be ignored. One interesting fact about rhubarb is that it actually has more calcium that a cup of milk, the problem is that it doesn’t digest easily in the body. They also have vitamin K and C, as well as potassium and manganese, but more importantly, they have a bowel-stimulating property called sennoside A or Senna, as it’s more commonly known which serves as a popular herbal laxative.
