Relieve Constipation

Prunes juice is widely recognized for its ability to alleviate constipation. This is due in part to the high fiber content of prunes. Prunes' fiber is largely insoluble, which means it does not dissolve in water. It helps to avoid constipation by increasing the weight of your stool and may increase the rate at which waste travels through your digestive tract. Furthermore, prunes and prune juice contain sorbitol, a sugar alcohol with inherent laxative properties.

Eating prunes has been demonstrated to be more successful than many other forms of laxatives, such as psyllium, a type of fiber commonly used for constipation treatment. In one research, those who ate 2 ounces (50 grams) of prunes every day for three weeks had better stool consistency and frequency than those who ate psyllium. It's crucial to remember that eating too many prunes at once might cause unpleasant side effects like diarrhea. To avoid this, keep to a serving size of 1/4-1/2 cup (44-87 grams) each day.
