Health Benefits of Prune Juice • Eating prunes as part of a healthy lifestyle intervention resulted in significant weight loss and waist circumference reduction for participants in a study at the University of Liverpool. Research from the University of Liverpool found that including prunes in weight may control diets and even improve weight loss. • Prunes are high in fiber, which helps prevent hemorrhoids brought on by constipation. Chronic constipation is a common problem in older adults and can also be a painful problem for infants. Prune juice acts as a laxative thanks to its high sorbitol content. Ask your doctor if it’s right for you or your child. • A serving size of six prunes has 4 grams of dietary fiber, and 1/2 cup contains 6.2 grams. • “Dietary guidelines for Americans: 2015-2020Trusted Source” recommends that women 30 years and younger get 28 grams of fiber each day, and men in this same age group get 34 grams. Women and men between 31 and 50 years of age should aim for 25 g and 30 g of fiber, respectively. The recommended fiber intake for women and men over 51 is still less, at 22 g and 28 g, respectively. • While prune juice doesn’t contain the same amount of beneficial fiber as the whole fruit, it still retains some fiber and many of the vitamins and minerals that the whole fruit provides. • Controls the urge • high in potassium • High in Vitamins • vitamin K 52 mcg 65 percent • vitamin A 679 IU 14 percent • riboflavin 0.16 mg 9 percent • vitamin B-6 0.18 mg 9 percent • niacin 1.6 mg 8 percent • Provides a good source of iron • Builds bones and muscles • Reduces cholesterol levels • Lowers blood pressure • Helps reduce appetite • Protects against emphysema • Lowers risk of colon cancer • Possible side effects of prunes and prune juice • Digestive upset • Gas and bloating. Prunes contain sorbitol, a sugar that can cause gas and bloating. Fiber, also contained in prunes, can also cause gas and bloating. • Diarrhea. Prunes contain insoluble fiber, which can cause or worsen diarrhea. • Constipation. When you increase your intake of fiber, it’s important to drink enough fluids. If you don’t, you could get constipated. So be sure to drink plenty of water when adding prunes to your diet. • To avoid these problems, introduce prunes into your diet slowly. This will give your digestive system time to adjust to them, and symptoms of gastrointestinal upset should be reduced. • Adding more prunes to your diet • Prunes come with a large number of health benefits and can improve digestion while offering needed nutrients. Some people, however, may find it difficult to incorporate prunes into their diet. • Here are some easy ways to add prunes to your diet: wealthy • Eat them alone as a snack. • Add prunes to your breakfast oatmeal. • Mix them with nuts, other dried fruits such as apricots, and dark chocolate chips for a healthy trail mix. • Add them to baked goods. • Blend them (or use prune juice) for drinks or smoothies. • Puree prunes and eat them as “prune butter” or jam. • Add them to a savory stew. • Adding prunes to your diet can be much easier — and more fun — than you’d think. For best results, make sure that you gradually increase your fiber intake and drink enough water. • SUBSCRIBE here: https://rb.gy/01ldys • #LeeNacola #Healthtips • CONNECT: • / lee_nacola • / momentofinspiration.believe
