Apples

Apples are rich in fiber. In fact, one medium-sized apple with the skin on (about 182 grams) contains 4.4 grams of fiber,which is 17% of the recommended daily intake.
Approximately 2.8 grams of that fiber is insoluble, while 1.2 grams is soluble fiber, mostly in the form of the dietary fiber called pectin.In the gut, pectin is rapidly fermented by bacteria to form short-chain fatty acids, which pull water into the colon,
softening the stool and decreasing gut transit time.
One study in 80 people with constipation found that pectin can accelerate the movement of the stool through the intestines, improve symptoms of constipation and increase the number of beneficial bacteria in the gut.Another study found that rats fed a diet of apple fiber had increased stool frequency and weight, despite being given morphine, which causes constipation.
Apples are an easy way to boost the fiber content of your diet and alleviate constipation. You can eat them whole, juiced or in salads or baked goods.
Granny Smith apples have a particularly high fiber content.

Water:

Try to drink plenty of water which helps to relieve constipation naturally.

Fenugreek

Fenugreek is more traditionally known as a cooking herb but the seeds are also known to be great at helping to settle the stomach and relieve constipation.
Fenugreek is also a good source of fibre and contains key vitamins and minerals.
Rather than buy it in supplement form, it is always best to consume foods in their natural state so look to start adding fenugreek to soups,
casseroles and curries for their full benefits and constipation-relieving effects at the same time.
 

What happens if we ignore constipation:

It leads to Hemorrhoids,
Anal fissure,
Rectal prolapse.
