There are quite a lot of tips on the Internet for improving digestion, but they all revolve around the same dogmas.
But there are other, lesser-known ways to improve bowel function.
We suggest you pay attention to psyllium, a plant that grows in the northern part of India.
We will be interested not in the seed itself, but in its shell.
What are the benefits of psyllium husk?
The husks left behind by the seeds contain hemicellulose, which is a soluble dietary fiber.
It is an excellent source of fiber, with the recommended intake being up to 38 grams per day.
Psyllium can relieve constipation and stimulate intestinal peristalsis, as well as relieve irritation of the walls.
The seed coat of this plant can help improve the tone of the intestinal wall, reducing the likelihood of diverticulosis.
