Prunes aren’t just a punchline; they provide numerous health benefits. These dried plums are a natural source of fiber and magnesium, which makes them a great way to relieve constipation. Instead of using expensive laxatives or stool softeners that may have unwanted side effects, you can try a traditional remedy that has been passed down for generations. Prunes have the added benefit of antioxidants that protect your cells from harm and reduce inflammation in your body. So, when you need a gentle nudge to get things moving, reach for these tasty and nutritious treats.
