One fruit that fits all three of those qualities is the Papaya.
Here’s why it stands out:
- Aids digestion: Papaya contains an enzyme called papain, which helps break down proteins and can support smoother digestion.
- Rich in Vitamin C: A single serving of papaya provides a high amount of vitamin C, which supports immunity and skin health.
- Natural laxative effect: Papaya contains fiber and a high water content, both of which can help relieve mild constipation and promote regular bowel movements.
Other fruits with similar benefits include:
- Kiwi — linked to improved bowel regularity and high in vitamin C.
- Prune — well known for its natural laxative properties.
- Orange — high in vitamin C and fiber.
If you’d like, I can also suggest:
- the best fruit for constipation,
- the highest-vitamin-C fruits, or
- fruits that are easiest on a sensitive stomach.
