Dates, prunes and figs are natural food sources which have a laxative effect. They are a rich source of dietary fiber and provide roughage to stimulate sluggish bowels. Hence they are highly beneficial to treat constipation.
To relieve constipation, immerse a handful of dates (at least 5-6 dates) in water at night and make a fine syrup the next morning and drink it.
Dates help the intestine to function effectively by keeping a check on the growth of pathological organisms. They enable the growth of friendly bacteria in the intestine.
This is due to the nicotinic acid and high tannins present in dates.
