31 Foods To Help You Deal With Constipation

23. Brown Rice

Similar to the way oat bran is better than quick oats, brown rice is also a better choice than white rice when it comes to how much fiber content it has. Aside from being higher in fiber, brown rice is also higher in magnesium, selenium, manganese and other types of nutrients, while also not being artificially enriched the way white rice usually is. Brown rice can make you feel fuller, help lower cholesterol levels, reduce heart disease risk, and nourish gut bacteria, while the fiber content helps you move your bowels more easily as well.
