HEALTH BENEFITS:
The health benefits of prunes include supporting bone health and weight management. Prunes provide essential antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
1. Supports a Healthy Gut
Prunes feed your gut microbiome, the diverse community of microorganisms that live in your digestive system.
Specifically, they may:
Help enrich bacteria from the Lachnospiraceae family in your gut. This type of microbe can reduce inflammation and help keep the gut lining healthy.
Increase the amount of Bifidobacteria, a microbe linked to better gut health, decreased gastrointestinal (GI) infections, and protection against colon cancer.
2. Eases Constipation
Eating prunes may help relieve constipation and promote regular bowel movements. Eating more prunes may also help reduce straining.
3. Improves Diet Quality
Consuming dried fruits like prunes is associated with having a higher-quality diet. Dried fruit eaters typically eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, seafood, and plant proteins, while consuming less sodium, refined grains, and saturated fats.7
Dried fruits are typically good sources of dietary fiber and potassium.7
4. Protects Bone Health
Eating prunes may offer unique bone benefits due to their phenolic compounds, vitamin K, and potassium content. Specifically, eating prunes may improve bone formation and prevent bone loss.
Prunes may also improve bone mineral density in postmenopausal people and boost bone health in men.
5. May Support Weight Management
Prunes contain fiber, which may support weight management. Eating high fiber foods like prunes prolongs the feeling of fullness and aids weight loss.
Despite their sweetness, prunes do not trigger blood sugar spikes or insulin levels. Dried fruit eaters tend to have a lower body mass index (BMI) and waist measurements.
6. May Help Lower Cholesterol
Eating prunes may help regulate cholesterol, but the research is mixed.Eating prunes as a snack, compared to eating muffins, can decrease low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.
