Orange and papaya juice is a great home remedy for treating constipation, as orange is rich in vitamin C and is an excellent source of fiber, while papaya contains, in addition to fiber, a substance called papain, which stimulates intestinal movements, facilitating the expulsion of feces.
Constipation generates symptoms such as hard and dry stools that can be difficult to get out and cause pain, as well as, belly bloating and abdominal pain. This problem is usually caused by ingestion of low fiber foods and lack of physical activity. In addition to this juice, it is important to eat a high fiber diet and exercise regularly.
