Their fiber content may help your stool gain volume and go through your digestive tract more quickly. Eating a serving or two of prunes can help you maintain gastrointestinal health by promoting regular bowel movements. Prunes are a simple way to enhance your calorie intake and promote healthy weight gain because they have a long shelf life and are simple to incorporate into your diet. They are delicious on their own, but you can add them to your favorite salads, smoothies, and baked goods to enjoy them as well.
