6 dried prunes a day for those who are in a hurry , thank me later ☺😂
Thank you sooo much
Thanks.
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤🌹
6 may be too much..2-3 I can do
he says 2-3 at a time, but recommends 6 a day, 6 at one time may be too much 🙂@@Bujji0423
Thank you for giving us this information without making us listen on and on and on to a long boring account of repetitions and even then not telling us. Sooooooooo grateful to you❤
You are very welcome!
Yes , isn't that the truth !
@@8kaddee8lumpkins Thanks, I try to keep it short and sweet!
Well said
If one’s diabetic is it okay to have six prunes a day
The glycemic index for one serving of prunes (60 grams, or about six prunes) is 29. Keep in mind that this glycemic index is for unprocessed, unsweetened, dried prunes.
Many commercially sold prunes and prune products are artificially sweetened, flavored and processed, substantially increasing the glycemic index
Boa tarde. Vou colocar as ameixas de molho na água na noite anterior e consumir durante o dia. Será que perde os nutrientes?
@@claudiabeloni3664 consume the juice, too! 🙂
Unsweetened prunes are still very high in sugar.
Costco has dried prunes, no added ingredients like vegetable oil or sugar. Tastes good too.
@@carollynt You do not need to, because Prunes themselves are high in sugar.
I’ve been eating 6 prunes per day for two years, and also taking meds for osteoporosis. My scores have improved! My cholesterol also was lowered by 20 points.
Bone density is proven to replenish itself from exercise. Beware of people who over complicate healthcare needs.
th-cam.com/video/0nZmMBie5o4/w-d-xo.html
So how do you know which one is working?
The medicine for osteoporosis causes bone fractures, I’ve taken care of 2 patients this has happened to
What medicine? What's the name
@@kathyharmon2093
If you don't like prunes. You can take Boron . I believe that is what is inside prunes that makes it good for bones.
People who are pre-diabetic and diabetics should avoid eating prunes.
I took your advice and ate prunes and learned the hard way that not to continue eating prunes.
They make “unsweetened prunes… look for them❣️
U don’t have to eat the six prunes at once..spread over the day has less effect on blood sugar
@@donalddansby1531 yes good point - tho prunes are dried plums so still have natural sugar, & 6 is quite a lot daily for anyone with blood sugar issues, even spread out.. I'm wondering what is it about the prunes that reduces inflammation.. 🤔
Turmeric reduces inflammation almost instantly, I found after hip surgery. Enjoy all advice you offer, thank you so very much. I add a teaspoon to soup every day and have not had an inflammation issue since.
You are very welcome Julie!
Any turmeric?
Yes but turmeric neutralized your iron if you are anemic and also turmeric is natural blood thinner so be careful
Does turmeric help in
Does turmeric help with 😮
I love prunes! Eat them a lot, as well as yogurt. I am 71 years old and I don't have osteoporosis!
Excellent Lynn!
yes prunes have lot of benefits but how but the diaries
I’m nearly 74, I have got osteoporosis, recently fell at railway station ..luckily nothing broken but so very bruised on legs. I can’t really do much excercise, got it in spine back and hips..frequent back pain. In May I have an appt with a rheumatician with a view to having an infusion once a month..
Wow! What a great surprise!! I have been eating dried prunes for many months now along with greek yogurt to stave off constipation ~ and now I learn it is helping my bones as well!!! Thanks so much for this video, and have a great day!
Thanks Bonnie and keep eating those prunes!
Only concern in regards to eating 6 dried prunes a day, they are very high in sugar 5 or 6 dried prunes contain about 21 grams of sugar 6 a day x 7 days a week 🤨 Something to keep in mind for those watching their sugar intake.
Very true. Sugar is detrimental to the body even when it's fruit sugar. Sorry no for me. So what is in the prunes that helps bones?
My diabetic cousin has been told to limit them.
@@charlotteerickson2486They are high in Vitamin K
20 grams of sugar = 5 teaspoons of sugar
T2D here so no go for me.
Prunes are delicious! Why have we not been told these simple things to defer bone loss by our physicians before? Thank you for not just the diet tips but the exercises too!
Edit to just FYI; My Dr wanted me to get all my dental work done before he put me on a osteoporosis drug.
I was at my dentist yesterday and updated him on my Dr appt Monday. I got a severe lecture from him (dentist) to NOT go on the osteoporosis drugs if I could possibly avoid it. He said if I started and he needed to pull a tooth it was possible I wouldn't heal from the extraction. He pointed out all the side effects that could include losing my jaw from an extraction. He did say the drugs are good at what they do but not if I need certain dental work. I encourage anyone reading this to include your dentist in your decision to take these drugs or not.
Pretty well known, actually!
@@Spiritual-journey9 Maybe to you in your area. I was diagnosed with osteopenia 23 years ago and osteoporosis 3 years ago. No doctor, in small towns or large cities EVER mentioned to me ANYTHING I could do to defer bone loss until a year ago. I was just told in the last few years to take the drugs.
They rather put you on drugs! I was previously on Fosamax and Antonel. Didn’t help at all and I was afraid of the side effects so I stopped taking drugs. I just try to eat healthy, eat prunes every day and exercise.
We are not supposed to get better, otherwise they don't earn money on us. They only treat symptoms instead get to the core of problem.
@@whitehawk6373 Exactly right, why do I keep forgetting this?
I dry 200 plus pounds of Italian plums every year. They are so much better than the store bought plums that are sickly sweet and slimy. I eat them because they are not as sweet as other dried fruits and for the complex sweet/sour taste. Love them! Had no idea they were that good for me. Thanks.
Great tip!
2. Ann from Liverpool England. I always feel so much better exercising with you in the morning.
Awesome, thank you and from Liverpool England! I hope the videos help
@@FrontRowwithEd 3:04
In our Indian culture, we soak either a teaspoonful of black raisins or about 5 to 6 almonds overnight, drain the water out and have either one of them. For the almonds, take out the skin first before consuming them. Or in the morning, take about 2 tablespoons of milk, add about just a bit of curd, add some raisins, stir thoroughly about, say 35x and let it set and have it either before or after lunch.
Awesome Padma, thank you for sharing! I’m headed to see my parents who live in India really soon 🇮🇳
Tumeric,ginger,herbs minerals all help.research first.And I love my berry juices,.❤
I just saw a dressing witt a 1/4 cup tahini, 1/4 cup stone brown mustard, 1/2 cup cider vinegar, 1/4 or ajust water, 1/4 to. 1/2 cup olive oil and about 5 prunes soaked in water if tpugh then put in blender for a smooth tasty dtessing! I went from memory so experiment with these ingredients! Add those prunes to anything! Thanks for that awrsome tip!
Sounds great!
I love prunes! And figs are also great for osteoporosis. They are also delicious!
Fig neutons!!!!
Be careful with figs. They have to be fresh. Dried figs contain toxins which are carcinogenic to the liver.
I add them to my cereal each morning and to help sweeten my health drinks I also add prunes, about 5. Thanks for all your videos, I look forward to all the new ones that come out.
CEREAL !!! 👎🏼
Grains are the first thing to give up if you are serious about health.
Wheat is the worst!
Put em in cookies.
Yum! I’m in. Will stock up tomorrow.
you can have some of mine, I got a huge bag from Costco!

Thanks so much, welcome 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing this info with us without a 15 min speech of unnecessary talking. I just have to say that I have to close my eyes and just listen because the way that the camera keeps jumping around is too distracting to me.
You are very welcome Esther!
I have been diagnosed with osteopenia. Thank you! This showed up on my feed. Liked and subscribed!
Thanks Lisa, welcome!
Thanks for the information . I enjoy prunes a lot . If you leave them in a bowl in the fridge they get hard like candy . It’s a nice sweet treat ! Keep up the good work .
Thank you, Janice!
Me, too. But the most I could I could manage was 2 or 3. They are all the candy I need.
Thank you for this very informative video. I have had osteoporosis for many years and can still walk 4-6 miles a day. I try to walk 5 days a week, not always the miles I stated, but I keep moving. I have not eaten prunes in many years. Although, they are full of sugar, if they will help, I will try them.
I found somewhere on youtube someone recommending 6 prunes per day help with joint pain, so I'm giving it a try. Prunes are DELICIOUS!
😎
I learned about prunes years ago to help build bone mass and I do try to eat 5 every day. I buy the Sunsweet D’Noir preservative free ones.
Well done!
Great comment,where did you buy this kind of dried prunes? All of them they have lots of potassium and other preservatives
Loved my prunes! That’s probably one of many reasons why I’m not osteoporosic at 70!! Also regular exercises esp my Zumba 💃💃💃
Way to go, nice job!
I walk 10,000 steps daily but need to add weight exercise use. I have Osteroporosis and getting Prolia shots for two years so far. Age 70.I take Cal./Mag. and eat two dairy servings. You are lucky and good for you! Many older females in family had Osteoporosis. First I heard of prunes for bones?
@@georgiafrye2524 please please get off the calcium - it does more harm to the bones and other parts of the body especially heart, calcifying places it shouldn’t be Big tick though for magnesium though
We can all try to live an active lifestyle, also eat well. That’s generally within our control😊🙏
Yah! Yoke. Wow! That's great. I recently had a bone density test and my doc said I had the bones of a young adult which is the average result. But I do have osteoarthritis in my wrists which I exercise with light weights.
Thank you. Anything I can learn and apply to be healthier
Thank you for sharing this information. We need the help.
Happy to help!
Thank you for categorizing your videos. It's extremely helpful indeed !!
You are very welcome!
Thank you so much I'm glad I found your channel I'm approaching one year since being diagnosed
With osteoporosis
I got diagnosed at age 39 but I have had osteoporosis I'm sure in my thirties without knowing because at age 19 I started eating 500 calories a day exercising like crazy eventually lost my menstration and didn't get it back until eleven years later I did increase my calorie intake a little bit here and there but never enough, not enough for a very active female
So now I have osteoporosis and I've chosen to treat this the natural way because I don't want to take any chances with the medication I want to learn as much as I can I'll definitely check out your osteoporosis-related videos thank you so so much, I feel like bone health is not something that's talked about but it should be it should be taught in school!!!!
Welcome and I hope the videos help!
@@FrontRowwithEd 🙏🏻 thank you so much I'm treating my osteoporosis with diet good nutrition exercise and supplements
I don't want to take medication
I don't want to take the risk of side effects I've spoken to people who took the medication and they told me why they got off of it and they turn to a natural approach, but I do have a question, I recently heard that some vitamin supplements that are specific for osteoporosis can affect digestion and absorption of food nutrients is there any truth to this??
I take the Garden of Life Grow Bone
Supplement which is specific for osteoporosis now I'm worried if what I was told is true that if taking vitamins to treat osteoporosis can prevent nutrient absorption??
I want the link
Thank you for your videos on osteoporosis. Sharing information is important as many doctors do not look past calcium, weight bearing exercise and prescription drugs. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis of the spine and went on a major research hunt for information and have discovered a lot. The issue of prunes came to light and the clinical trials that claim improved bone density. When I checked further, the research was funded by the Prune growers, however the research appears legit. I would suggest that prunes are effective because they are high in Vitamin K which is an essential nutrient in calcium being deposited into the bones. The 6 prunes would give you over 50% of the daily vitamin k requirement. I took the prunes for a few months before finding out about the Vitamin K so I’ve switched to taking a K supplement and only having a couple of prunes as they are really high in sugar and might cause problems for some people’s digestive system. Just a thought. I absolutely agree that all osteo patients must have a properly supervised bone building exercise regime because bone cells will not be stimulated to deposit bone unless bones are stressed sufficiently through exercise.
Thank you magpiegirl3783. As a diabetic, I can't imagine eating any dried fruit as it would cause me to crave carbs and raise my blood sugar. I read that taking vitamin K2 was beneficial, so I am trying that. Your information validates what I previously read.
My functional md told me it was the boron in the prunes.... we've been working on my A1c for years and he's a strong proponent of Keto, so I was surprised at his recommendation, but I'm following it.
Most prunes in EU are treated with potassium sorbate (E202) which upsets my digestion. But if I soak them overnight in water & discard the water in the morning I can eat them
Thank you magpiegirl3783...I'm diabetic I don't need extra sugar.
I eat soft organic prunes from France.Is that meant to be as effective as dried prunes?
I’ll try this but I’d honestly be surprised if it magically improved my osteopenic bone density. The explanation for why they work seems too good to be true coz there’s so many other foods rich in antioxidants.
Yes, of course but please remember there’s so many other things that go into building a new bone. Other lifestyle considerations, weight, bearing exercises, and strength training. I think we just want to throw everything we can add it and hope it moves the needle.
Thank you so very much, you are giving me so much hope. 🙏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️
You are very welcome!
Thank you for the information about bone density. Very informative and interesting. You are really helpful.
Very welcome!
Love your tree 🎄 Thanks for the great information.
You are very welcome 🙏🏼
Good info. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for your informative presentation.
You are welcome!
Love prunes. I can now have prune in my regular snack rotation.
Yes!
I eat three prunes every morning. I love them, and it’s a way to start my fruit/veggie intake for the day. Guess I’ll be doubling!!
That’s right Julie !
I've been eating my prunes daily for over a year and am looking forward to my next bone density scan.
Are you strength training also Susan?
thank you, i needed to hear this.
You are so welcome
Welcome!
Also adding some resistance training can help maintain and/or increase bone density
Absolutely Kevin, thanks for sharing!
I just heard about this! And it supposedly helps grow bone. What??? I’m willing to try
I love prunes and it is really good also for digestion full of vitamin and mineral water dried or fresh I Love it
Agreed 👍🏻
Thanks so much for your information. Very much appreciated
You are very welcome Gladys!
I love prunes and custard,never realised they were so good for you
Yes, a bonus!
Takes me back to my childhood.
You made me want to eat prunes! Few doctors have said the same too. But I am still hesitant. Doesn't it feel like 6 is too sugar in a day for anyone, young or old? I am hesitant because I don't want to eat myself into being insulin resistance, having 6 prunes per day. That's 180 prunes a month, 2160 prunes a year! That is a lot of sugar. What is your view on this? Thank you.
Great, useful info.!
Awesome, happy to help!
Thank you so much for this information. I'm going to start this asap.
Excellent!
Really helpful information, thank you!
You're very welcome!
Yay, I love prunes!! Does prune juice have the same benefit? What about plums in their pre-dried state?
Prunes will help your bowels moving, which assists in the lymphatic system flowing. Chronic constipation means everything is backed up, including your body's ability to build bone. I'm 55 and nobody ever told me pooping twice a month wasn't normal. I have severe bone loss in my skull from a molar's roots being in my sinus cavity, resulting in a life long infection, which caused chronic & severe constipation. Found out about the bone loss when I found out about the tooth. The day after the tooth was out the constipation ended.
Nobody told you. , you have more problems , bud..😂
@@seniormale you have no idea. The constipation began when I was a toddler and started getting used for pleasure by a grandfather. I was raised by a narcissistic mother who completely ignored me and ridiculed any health issues. When I was 14 I was getting into a car when the driver of the car stepped on the gas and pulled out of the parking space. My foot was wedged against the wheel as it moved forward, folding my foot in half. My mom refused to take me to the doctor for two weeks.
So, I completely agree with you. The constipation is the least of my problems
You have had to live through a lot of difficulties.
Thank you so much for posting this. You’re a superhero in my eyes. I truly wonder if this is a problem I’m facing. How did you find out about the tooth? An x-ray or something else?
@@RememberTheLord I switched to a biological dentist. She requires a cone beam scan as part of the new patient testing.
I known about prunes, but my problem is that they are high in carbs. I do not want to mess up my metabolism. I may eat one or two every now and then,, but not daily.
What exercises really strengthen the weak bones in my hands. the rest of my body is doing pretty well. I am 62 and have osteoporosis. I do hand and forearm exercises but my hands still look frail. I will get on board with eating prunes as you said.

Dexa scans are bogus. I recommend researching it. Also, the carnivore diet is great for bones (and many other things!).
What a lovely compilation - perfect for me with the exercises I need. I used to swim 3 x daily for 1.5 hrs per day while working in E. TN (in the lakes) I like privacy. Not interested in being seen by anyone. 45 intense hrs of work weekly and being a Velcro attachment to my office chair is making it tricky! I have to find a way to fit it in. Great to know about prunes. Love them.
Excellent!
That’s good news. I eat a few diced prunes with some raw nuts most days. My little treat.
Excellent!
Dried prunes are good for constipation,good natural fibers as well
Yes, true
Well that was simple and easy to do ‼️👍
Thanks carol!
Why dried prune but not eating the fresh ones? Also, pineapples are very good for anti-imflamation. Thanks for the information, Doc.
What are good items to eat that would increase bone density in other parts of the body? Thanks.
Vitamin D3 plus K2.
soak the prunes in water they are much more pleasant to eat

Thank you for this video, but my blood sugar would be off the charts if I ate 6 prunes a day. I’m eating more animal protein, taking boron, collagen and creatine powder, turmeric and monitoring my vitamin D/K2 numbers. Also added resistance training to my weight training. Hoping to see improved results at my next Dena scan.
Wow, it sounds like you are doing great! Keep it up 👍🏻
Great IF you can find dried fruits without nitrates or sulphites.
My mum fed me lots of prunes when i was a kid. I managed to break my left arm 3 times. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis at age 40. I don't think prunes do anything to build bone.
i love your living room -- it's totally my taste, and similar to mine! :)
Yay! Thank you!
Thanks. I love prunes! i will cut down on other sugar so that the prunes get 'sugar space! '
Sounds like a good plan Maria!
I’ve heard that 4 is enough. They are really sweet. It’s the 3 mg of boron in the prunes that is important.
Check with your doctor if you take blood thinning medication.
".......You may need to avoid fruits high in vitamin K, like prunes, when taking warfarin. Eating healthy can be simplified when taking prescription warfarin, once you know which foods contain vitamin K. Several foods interact with this medication - including fruits and vegetables that provide vitamin K......"
Prunes!!! Thank you. What about Magnesium? what type of magnesium for bones?
Since prunes are dried plums wouldn’t eating plums have the same benefit?
Yes I don’t get this either , why prunes , not plums
@@christinebeames712 one thing is plums are seasonal and anyone can buy prunes anytime. Don’t know how valid that is
@@billieford9683 that makes perfect sense , thank you , I love prunes with cream cheese , odd I know , but wait till you taste them ,
Omg until today I.thought plums and prunes where different fruits

They are concentrated by being dried.
Any other option for diabetics?
Got it! An anti inflammatory!
I have hip osteopenia.

Can i use turmeric powder to help with inflamation
I wish I knew where that avocado landed! 🙂 thank you for the info!
I know right!
I love dried prunes !
Awesome!
Is there anything similar that you take that will have the same effect as prunes.
What do you do if you can't eat prunes? I like them but they don't like me...can't digest them. Can only eat low Fodmap foods. I have been taking boron for years but have just found out I have Osteoporosis. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
Fructose is extremely inflammatory thus prunes would be a problem??
Seems like you could select the very strongly anti-inflamatory TUMERIC instead and avoid the glycemic problem.
My dentist advised me not to take the shots for osterprosis. Took his advice.
Yes, you do need to be careful about that. This video may help you as well th-cam.com/video/gHboKGnytWY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9ZML8GbyBA6x_AQt Best wishes
I actually love prunes...just cant eat too many at once! 😅. So how do prunes help osteoporosis?
Many ways including micronutrients, fiber, and they are anti-inflammatory, so enjoy them!
@@FrontRowwithEdwhat does fiber have to do with building bones?
Thanks for the info...
You are very welcome!
Good...I didn't know. And good for fibers too!
Yes they are!
Thank you! I am already taking 5 at night. I like the ones that come individually wrapped lol. I use it as a stool softener. I will be taking Armidex soon and Osteoporosis is one of the side effects😳
Sounds great!
Ok I will keep you up to date. I will eat 6 prunes until my next test. Hope Osteoporosis is gone.
Thanks for letting me know its 6 prunes per day.
No problem 👍
I eat prunes like candy. Also good for potassium. I do like M & M's.
How about having Rheumatoid arthiritis and osteoporosis at the same time will dried prunes help? I live in Toronto Canada. Just dried prunes will help ?
Thank You!
Welcome!
Eating 6 prunes a day would wreak havoc on my bowels. Can't do it. Is there anything else that I could substitute for dried prunes?
Would it be boron in the prunes?
Is eating about 10 raisins per prune in 6 cinnamon rolls spread across a day equivalent 😊? With exercise of course!
I have a hole in one of my knees but because of wear and tear my other knee is painful now. I lift weights because it makes me happy, I can do some cardio but not running or cycling just sitting and lifting my legs up and down and sideways as they hurt when I go out and about doing shopping, removing garbage and tidying my home. Iwas running in my forties until I had a brain haemorrhage. Any suggestions? I want to get back to a size 10 but I get very tired.
Great! Thanks. I like prunes!
Excellent Ruth, now you have a good reason to eat even more prunes 😏
I drink 4 oz prune juice with pulp every morning for constipation. Prunes don't help as much. Is the juice going to do anything for osteopenia ?
