Snack on Dried Plums for Strong Bones!


To maintain strong bones, snack on dried plums daily. Eating prunes may help boost bone density by preventing the breakdown of bone.

Did you know that your chances of breaking a bone double during the winter months?

To help keep your bones strong and lessen your chance of a fracture, try snacking on dried plums. Research shows that women who snacked on 10 prunes a day had higher bone mineral density after a year than those who snacked on other dried fruit.

Research suggests that dried plums can help prevent the breakdown of bone as we age, thus reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
