Bone need calcium to strengthen and keep nonporous. Women are more vulnerable osteoporosis, should pay attention to calcium intake. So far, the best-known source of calcium is milk. But the fat in milk makes us reluctant to eat on a regular basis.
Although there has been milk with low-fat label, the price is relatively more expensive and easy fat fears still haunt women. Fortunately, a most recent findings about osteoporosis find a solution to this problem.
Prune is dried plums, proven to increase bone density after the woman consumed on a regular basis every day for a year. Fruit is still a family with peach and cherry is usually dark purple or red, with thick flesh and a solid seed in the center of the fruit. In Indonesia dried prune easily found in the ranks of candy and sweets in supermarkets that provide imported foodstuffs.
In the study, one hundred post-menopausal women were randomly asked to consume 100 grams of prunes, testing was conducted with the supervision of diet, activity level, height and weight, blood samples and bone mineral density scan (BMD) over a period of 12 months to measure levels of calcium and other minerals in bone. The level of low density indicates a higher risk of loss.
The results, prune can increase bone density, especially in the area of spine and forearm bone. Prunes contain vitamins C, K, phytochemicals and antioxidants that help maintain bone tissue and slows the release of micro-particles that lead to bone loss. Prunes are also high in boron, a mineral that can increase bone density by helping the absorption of calcium more effectively.
