Prunes for Osteoporosis??

Published 2024-04-30
Prunes might be the best fruit for Osteoporosis but they might not be the right fit for you! 

So many of you took my YouTube videos on the "Best Fruit for Osteoporosis" to heart and really doubled down on prunes! Yes, prunes are a surprisingly powerful tool for Osteoporosis and I love the commitment, but my dietitians have been seeing the effects of this increased carbohydrate load on new clients and asked me to give an update! 

Huge shoutout to health coach @ediefeffer who took one for the team to track her prune intake with her continuous glucose monitor! You can see the results on her story for the next few hours that show the positive impact of prunes when your metabolism is thriving!

  • My doctor yesterday recommended to eat dry figs which contains more calcium when I said I eat dry prunes everyday. So I started eating both everyday.

    I’ll have to try the 5 prunes and not have any other sugars items. Improving my bone density is #1. TY

    Studies on post menopausal women showed that by consuming double the recommended daily intake of protein caused a significant increase in bone density.

    I read its the mineral Boron in prunes, if your worried about sugar there are some great natural mineral supplements. I take a liquid form because of digestive issues.
  • I eat 6 prunes a day with no issues. I also eat raisins for a change. They are both healthy and reduce cravings for sweets

    What if you eat them one at a time during the day with rice or banana?
  • It may be funded by Californian plum growers,this will be correct as an essential trace mineral Boron is only present of significance, in California and the middle east
