Making Changes In Dietary Habit 

A diet prosperous in legumes, fruits, vegetables, and grains stimulates peristalsis. The fiber components draw water and create a gelatinous mass, which maintains the feces soft, easy to pass, and bulky. The net impact of a high fiber diet is extremely less straining during defecation. These substances, especially pectin, psyllium seed, and guar gum, possess a mild laxative action owing to their ability to attract water and form a gelatinous mass.

Insoluble fiber food includes wheat bran, nuts, whole-wheat bread, and vegetables like broccoli.
