In today’s fast-paced world, poor eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle have made digestive issues like constipation more common than ever. Low-fiber diets, dehydration, and long hours of sitting can slow down our system and disrupt regular bowel movements. But sometimes, the most powerful remedies are the simplest — and nature has a way of offering just what we need.
This gentle, homemade tonic combines prunes and dates, two fiber-rich fruits known for their natural laxative properties. Simmered together and taken by the spoonful on an empty stomach, this blend helps stimulate digestion and promote regularity without any additives or medications. It’s a delicious, natural way to support your gut and feel lighter every day.
