Researchers from Pennsylvania State University conducted a study that showed that regular consumption of prunes helps reduce bone mass loss in postmenopausal women. The results of the work were published in The Journal of Nutrition.
The study was conducted over 12 months and involved more than 180 women aged 55 to 75. The participants were divided into three groups: the first and second groups consumed 50-100 g of prunes daily, while the third group served as a control.
During the experiment, the researchers found that regular consumption of dried plums reduces the levels of molecules that promote inflammation. The researchers attribute this effect to the high content of vitamins and minerals in this product.
