Benefits of Prunes
There are so many reasons that our small, yet mighty prune is nicknamed “The Feel Good Fruit.”
The Pros of Prunes and Prune Juice
With vitamins and minerals like potassium, magnesium, vitamin K, and polyphenols, prunes are great for reducing bone breakdown and bone mineral loss. Studies have shown that prunes can help lower your risk of bone loss and osteoporosis. And the best time to start prioritizing your bone health is today!
Our Amaz!n Prunes and our Prune Juice are excellent sources of fiber. They also contain sorbitol, a natural component that is known to relieve constipation with a process that helps regulate digestion.
All fruits are great for your heart, but prunes are particularly good. It’s because they’re low in sodium and fat, while containing 3g of dietary fiber (which is known to lower the risk of heart disease). A study from UC Davis actually found that eating prunes daily lowers LDL cholesterol levels in men.
As a fat-free, 100-calorie snack that’s low in sugar, prunes can lower blood glucose levels, suppress hunger, and help with weight control. Thanks to their 3g of dietary fiber and low glycemic index (29!), prunes are digested slowly by the body–which helps sustain energy over a longer period of time!
