NIH study suggests dark leafy greens like spinach are beneficial for gut health and can prevent constipation when included regularly in the diet. Spinach has high fiber, which adds bulk to the stool, whereas its magnesium content helps relax the intestinal muscles, which ensures smoother passage of stool.
Spinach can be consumed raw in salads, blended into smoothies, lightly sautéed, or added to soups and stews to support digestive health.
