Cherries are great, but they work best as part of a constipation-fighting dream team. Pair them with water—like, actual H2O—because fiber without water is like trying to slide down a dry waterslide. Not fun. Also, move your body a little; a walk after your cherry snack can be the final nudge your intestines need.
And don’t forget: prunes, kiwi, and chia seeds are also superstars in the regularity game. Cherries are just the fun, red sidekick who shows up to the party with a wink and a smile. Variety keeps your gut microbiome thrilled, and a bored gut is a backed-up gut.
