Kiwis may be more than a healthy snack -- they could also help get your digestive system moving.
New evidence-based dietary guidelines from the British Dietetic Association say kiwis, rye bread and certain supplements may help people manage chronic constipation without medication.
These guidelines focus specifically on diet-based constipation treatment rather than pharmaceuticals, said lead author Eirini Dimidi, a registered dietitian and associate professor at King's College London.
She hopes that "people themselves with constipation can access now evidence-based information, feel empowered to take control of the symptoms and improve a condition that has a tremendous impact on quality of life."
