To get relief from constipation, which of the following is prescribed to be eaten in large amount?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The  correct answer is  option 1  i.e. Fibre .

To get relief from constipation, fibre is prescribed to be eaten in large amounts.

Dietary fibre adds bulk to the stool and helps it pass more easily through the digestive tract. It is found in foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and seeds. There are two types of fibre: soluble (which softens stool) and insoluble (which adds bulk). A fibre-rich diet, along with adequate water intake, is one of the most effective natural remedies for constipation.

Incorrect Options:

  1. Fish – Rich in protein and healthy fats, but low in fiber.

  2. Protein – While essential for health, excess protein without fiber can worsen constipation.

  3. Meat – Low in fiber and can contribute to constipation if consumed in excess.
