10 Health Benefits of Mustard
Health Benefit #4: Eases Constipation
We can sometimes find that the food that we eat does not pass through our digestive system as fast as it should. This can cause food to become backed up in our system. It can also result in stools that are hard and dry, making them difficult and often painful to pass.
Mustard contains a substance known as mucilage. This substance is slimy and can help our food to pass through our system. Mustard is also a good source of fiber, which will also help to keep our digestive system in good condition. To use it as a remedy, consume one teaspoon of mustard seeds twice a day.
