Contrary to popular belief, prunes aren't just good for digestion; they're beneficial for bone health too. A couple of studies have demonstrated that prunes can prevent bone mineral density loss—a condition associated with osteoporosis. They achieve this by inhibiting bone resorption, the process by which bones are broken down, and their minerals absorbed into the bloodstream.

Furthermore, prunes contain boron and potassium—two minerals needed for bone health. While boron enhances your body's ability to retain calcium, potassium plays a role in preserving bone mineral density.
