Nourishment Note

Avocado

Avocados contain insoluble fiber to help relieve constipation, a common side effect with anti-cancer drugs. It’s also a great source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.

Whole Grain Bread

Whole grain bread contains insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber helps to draw water and add bulk within the small intestines, making it a great type of fiber for relieving constipation.

Radishes

Aside from their crunch and fresh taste, radishes contain both insoluble and soluble fiber. The high lignan content, a type of insoluble fiber, makes them especially helpful in relieving constipation. They’re also high in polyphenols to help protect healthy cells.
