These tiny legumes are packed with fiber and nutrients, making them an ideal choice. A single cup of cooked green peas contains 9 grams of fiber, providing 32% of your daily recommended intake. Both insoluble and soluble fiber are found in peas, with insoluble fiber adding bulk to stool, speeding up digestion, and promoting more effortless\u00a0bowel\u00a0movements.\n</p><h2 id='\"h-hydration-and-fluid-content\"' class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Hydration and Fluid Content\n<div class='\"wp-block-image\"'>\n<figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"wp-image-169977\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/theheartysoul.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/09%5C/image-357.png%5C%22" sizes='\"auto,' srcset='\"https:\/\/theheartysoul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-357.png' https: alt='\"woman' sitting and hydrating width='\"800\"' height='\"533\"' title='\"\"'><figcaption class='\"wp-element-caption\"'>Credit: Unsplash\n\n<p>In addition to fiber, staying hydrated is key to preventing constipation. Green peas not only provide fiber but are also made up of almost 80% water, according to the USDA. This high water content works in tandem with the fiber to soften stools and make them easier to pass. Dietitian Emily Maus emphasizes that hydration is critical to keeping your digestive system functioning smoothly.\n</p><div class='\"pw-ad-scroll-container' pw-clearfix data-pw-in-article='\"true\"' data-batch-id='\"in_content4\"'>\n<div class='\"pw-ad-container-logo\"'>\n<h2 id='\"h-magnesium-the-secret-constipation-fighter\"' class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Magnesium \u2013 The Secret Constipation Fighter\n<div class='\"wp-block-image\"'>\n<figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"wp-image-169966\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/theheartysoul.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/09%5C/image-349.png%5C%22" sizes='\"auto,' srcset='\"https:\/\/theheartysoul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-349.png' https: alt='\"woman' mid-run with constipation width='\"800\"' height='\"533\"' title='\"\"'><figcaption class='\"wp-element-caption\"'>Credit: Unsplash\n\n<div class='\"pw-ad-scroll-container' pw-clearfix data-pw-in-article='\"true\"' data-batch-id='\"in_content5\"'>\n<div class='\"pw-ad-container-logo\"'>Green peas are also rich in magnesium, a mineral that plays a role in easing constipation.\u00a0Magnesium\u00a0helps draw water into the intestines, which can soften stool and improve bowel movement frequency.
