Which diet is useful in constipation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A fibre-rich diet
Dietary fibre adds bulk and helps retain water in stool, which can make bowel movement easier. Fibre should be increased gradually and accompanied by adequate fluids and appropriate physical activity, unless a medical condition requires restriction. A diet low in water or high in fried foods and sweets may worsen constipation rather than relieve it.
