5. Figs
Figs are versatile fruits that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Because they can be eaten raw, cooked, dried, or paired with cheese and meats, adding them to your diet can be quite easy, boosting your fiber intake and promoting digestive health.
Figs contain as much as 7.3 grams of fiber per 75 grams of fruit, a whopping 30% of the recommended daily requirement for fiber making it an excellent remedy for constipation. In addition, figs also contain the enzyme ficain which acts similarly to the enzyme actinadain found in kiwis. This compound increases movement in the upper part of the digestive system, helping food move along smoothly through the gut.
