A good way to regulate the intestine is to eat prunes regularly because this fruit has a substance called sorbitol, a natural laxative that facilitates the elimination of feces, leaving the skin more beautiful and the belly less swollen.
But in addition it is also necessary to drink 1.5 to 2 liters of water per day, because without the amount of water required the feces become dry causing constipation.
The plum still helps to lose weight because it has few calories and low glycemic index, and can still be eaten naturally or used in juices and vitamins.
