Want a smooth bowel movement in the morning? ...Eat a handful of 'this' the night before!

A handful of chickpeas

 

According to the recent New York Daily News, New York Post, nutrition expert Dr. Isabel Vasquez stated that

Chickpeas were chosen as a simple late-night snack to maintain a regular bowel movement habit every morning.

 

You only need to eat a handful of chickpeas without taking laxatives or undergoing the latest detox or colon cleansing trends.
