How to Lose Weight Without Dieting & Get Healthier in the Process
Healthy Tips for Prunes
Healthy Tip #1 - One of the healthiest snacks you can put on your pantry shelf is dried prunes. They contain about 23 calories each, plus a healthy dose of fiber and a surprising 4 mg of calcium and 5.7 grams of Vitamin K.
Healthy Tip #2 - Prunes, as well as most mashed fruits such as banana, work exceptionally well as a substitute for oil when baking while adding a unique, delicious flavor to the goody - not to mention an extra layer of health. In addition, applesauce, light sour cream, as well as dried fruits other than prunes also work very well in place of oil, shortening and butter.
Healthy Tip #3 - Opting for prunes over prune juice can save a plethora of calories. While a prune or two can satisfy the tummy for 23 to 46 calories, one cup of prune juice contains about 182 calories.
Healthy Tip #4 - Vitamin B-6 helps fight against depression. Prunes are rich in Vitamin B-6. Prunes are also a rich source of potassium.
Healthy Tip #5 - Create delicious appetizers with prunes (or dates) by filling them with a 1/2 teaspoon of whipped cream cheese. As a note, whipped foods contain about 1/3 less calories than their non-whipped counterparts.
Healthy Tip #6 - Prunes are notoriously associated with gas and the uncomfortable effects associated with such. When eating prunes or any gassy food, take care of how much you consume, as well as other foods that you pair with the gassy-offender. Doing such can save a lot of uncomfortable effects. In addition, prunes tend to be high on baby's list of foods. Limit other gassy foods when feeding prunes. A combo of mashed bananas, mashed peas, mashed chicken and prunes can set off a silent digestive disaster within baby that in time makes a huge announcement of its existence!
