Eat Prunes, Keep Bones Strong? (New Study) EP. 1196 JUN 2024


Listen Later

This new study suggests prunes might be a tasty way for older women to keep their bones strong! While doctors usually rely on flat X-rays, this research used fancy 3D scans to get a better look at bone health. Women over 50 were given no prunes, a small handful (4-6) daily, or a bigger handful for a year. The women who enjoyed some prunes daily showed no weakening in their shin bones, while those who skipped them entirely did. Prunes might have bone-friendly ingredients and the smaller handful seems easier to manage as a daily habit.
