It's been about a month since I first tried eating prunes for bone health. I found the brand pictured here at Trader Joe's - they are preservative-free but seem to stay fresh in the zip-lock bag in the kitchen cabinet - no refrigeration needed.
I really like them! It's the perfect sweet thing after dinner, but not too sweet. According to the studies I cited in the previous post, you can get the bone density benefit by eating 6 a day. It's only about 22 calories per prune, or about 132 calories for 6.
What a painless way to do something every day to fight bone loss.
