What we eat doesn’t just fill us up — it directly affects how smoothly everything moves through our digestive system. Our gut is designed to keep things moving, but the type of food we choose can make that process easier or much more difficult.
When we eat whole, fiber-rich foods:
Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, seeds, and nuts add bulk to our stool and help it move easily through the intestines. Fiber acts like a gentle internal “broom,” supporting regularity, feeding beneficial gut bacteria, and keeping everything flowing the way it should.
But when our diet is full of ultra-processed foods:
Low-fiber, highly processed foods move much more slowly through the digestive tract. Because they lack the bulk and moisture your gut needs, they can lead to sluggish digestion, constipation, and the buildup of dry, hardened stool. Over time, this can contribute to discomfort, bloating, and even impacted f***l matter if things aren’t moving regularly.
Supporting a healthy digestive flow starts with simple daily habits:
• Include fiber at every meal
• Stay well hydrated
• Add fruits and vegetables regularly
• Move your body
• Limit foods that slow your system down
Your gut works hard for you every day. Give it the foods that help it function at its best.
