Health Benefits:
If you are in the search for a food that gives you a lot of energy without making unnecessary rises in your blood sugar than choose prunes. Prunes are, as we have noted here, high in fiber, thus preventing problems with constipation and helping smooth digestion. They are also good if you are trying to lose weight or wanting to keep your good figure as it is. If you have a prolonged problem with shortness of breath, general fatigue or weakness maybe you experience anemia. They would be the right choice for you too, since they are also high in iron, which is a secure helping hand with anemia problems.
Prunes rank 4th on our list of easiest fiber foods to digest. They are also a source of the mineral called boron, which is important for fighting bone density losses and in general, can help in building strong bones and muscles. Some studies have shown that prunes could also be important in reducing plaque in arteries. By doing this, it helps with atherosclerosis and other possible worst outcomes of it – heart failure, strokes, and heart attacks.
