Apple juice is an excellent home remedy to improve bowel function because the apple contains a soluble fiber called pectin which, upon contact with food water, forms a viscous gel capable of increasing stool volume and promoting bowel functioning.
In addition, by facilitating the movement of intestinal transit, the apple is able to eliminate the toxins and insoluble fibers present in the intestine, being a great complement to treat diverticulitis, diarrhea and constipation, for example.
Ingredients
- 2 apples
- 1 cup pitted cherries
- 1 liter of water
Method of preparation
Cut the apples in half, remove the seeds and put in the blender along with the cherries and water. Beat well until obtaining a homogenous mixture and drink 2 times a day.
To supplement this home remedy, one should drink at least 1 liter of water a day, do an abdominal massage, eat high-fiber foods such as strawberry, pear or seed bread and exercise regularly because these cares also help to release the intestine.
