Now, two new studies add further evidence to confirm the positive role that prunes have on overall health.
Key Points:
- Now, two new studies add further evidence to confirm the positive role that prunes have on overall health.
- The researchers found that total hip bone mineral density decreased in the control group, while the 50g prune group preserved bone mineral density.
- They also play a role in digestive health, by enhancing the gut microbiome, preventing constipation, and easing laxation.
- The bone and digestive health benefits of prunes rely on a daily serving of at least 50 grams of prunes, or about five whole prunes.
