Prunes are a fruit that looks like a plum. Because they can be eaten in many ways and have antioxidant, beauty-enhancing, and bone-strengthening benefits, they are deeply loved by people. At present, many people like to make them into juice to drink. So can eating prunes help with weight loss? How many is appropriate to eat per day? These three types of people are not suitable to eat them!

1. Can eating prunes help with weight loss?

Prunes do have a certain weight-loss effect. This is because every 100 grams of prunes contains 39 kcal and 0.1 grams of fat, making them a truly low-fat, low-calorie fruit. In addition, the water-soluble natural pectin and insoluble plant fiber contained in prunes can also promote intestinal peristalsis and reduce toxins in the body.

Prunes can also synthesize xylitol and sorbitol in the body, and can also promote gastrointestinal digestion, regulate intestinal flora, and soften waste in the intestines, thereby achieving the goal of weight loss. However, the sugar content of prunes is a bit high, so during weight loss, pay attention to the amount eaten.

2. How many prunes should be eaten per day for weight loss?

For weight loss, eating 3 to 4 medium-sized prunes per day is enough. Although prunes have a weight-loss effect, their sugar content is relatively high, and eating too many is not good for weight loss. Generally speaking, during weight loss, eating about 3 to 4 prunes per day is more appropriate.

3. How should prunes be eaten for a better weight-loss effect?

1. Eat them directly

(1) Rinse the prunes once with clean water, then put them in salt water and soak them for a period of time.

(2) There will be some pesticide residue on the surface of prunes, so it is best to clean the prunes thoroughly before eating them.

2. Juice them and drink it

(1) Prepare 4 prunes, 1 cucumber, and an appropriate amount of honey.

(2) Clean the prunes, remove the pits, and cut them into small pieces; wash the cucumber and cut it into small pieces.

(3) Put the prune pieces and cucumber pieces together into a juicer. After juicing is complete, pour it into a cup, add an appropriate amount of honey, and stir evenly.

4. Which people are not suitable to eat prunes?

1. People with a cold constitution

Prunes are a cold-natured fruit, so people with a cold constitution and women during menstruation are not suitable to eat them.

2. People with diabetes

Prunes have a relatively high sugar content, so people with diabetes and people with obesity are not suitable to eat too many.

3. People with poor liver function

Prunes rely relatively heavily on pesticides, and there is more pesticide residue on the fruit skin, so people with poor liver function are also not suitable to eat too many.

5. What is the market price of prunes per jin?

Prunes are divided into imported prunes and domestically produced prunes. The price of imported prunes is above 50 yuan, while the price of domestically produced prunes is 10 to 30 yuan per jin. Imported prunes must undergo long-distance transportation, so they are considered relatively rare, and naturally the price is higher. Domestically produced prunes mainly come from Xinjiang, and the price is a bit lower. Prices differ by region, so it is recommended that everyone still go to the local market to learn the details.
