00:00If you eat this vegetable you're gonna poop. I'm a dietitian so I think there's no shame in talking
00:04about bowel movements. But it's not the most glamorous or comfortable thing when you can't go.
00:10The best way to resolve it is by adding fiber and water. And this veg has both. It's peas.
00:15One cup has a third of your daily fiber needs plus a high fluid content that keeps things from
00:20getting stuck along the way. It's also high in magnesium which can have a laxative effect.
00:25Not to mention it's super green and so versatile I literally always have a bag in my freezer.
00:30Blend them with some lemon and creme fraiche or greek yogurt and spread it on bread.
00:34It's like a springy avocado toast and trust me it will get things moving.
