Water is the most basic, yet best, drink for digestion. Not drinking enough is a common cause of constipation. Aim for adequate daily water intake to keep things moving smoothly through your system.

​Soluble Fiber ​

Found in fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds, soluble fiber soaks up water. This makes stool softer and easier to pass, helping to prevent constipation and promote comfortable bowel movements.

​Insoluble Fiber ​

Insoluble fiber, found in fruit skins and whole grains, acts as roughage. It doesn't dissolve in water but adds bulk, helping to push waste through your digestive tract and keep you regular.
