Wheat bran for constipation

Wheat bran, which is generally discarded in the flour milling process, is more wholesome and nourishing than the flour itself. It's an excellent laxative. The laxative effects of bran are much superior to fruits and vegetables as cellulose of the latter is more easily broken down by bacteria while passiing through the intestines.

Bran is highly beneficial in the prevention and treatment of constipation due to its concentration of cellulose which forms a bulk-mass in the intestines abnd helps easy evacuation due to increased peristaltic action.
