Menopause occurs when women between the ages of 40 and 50 stop having menstrual periods, which results in decreased levels of reproductive hormones and causes many changes in the body, including health.
Among the symptoms that harm women at this stage of life are weight gain, decreased metabolism and insulin resistance. However, as El Debate reports, experts recommend a fruit that can alleviate these complications: prunes.
The recommendation is based on research published in the journal Food & Function, which found that daily prune consumption improved the fecal gut microbiome in postmenopausal women, which may alleviate the symptoms already mentioned.

The fecal microbiome is the ecosystem of feces that is linked to gut health. This goes hand in hand with the benefits of prunes, which are considered one of the best fruits for improving intestinal transit and combating constipation.
“Research has shown that postmenopausal women benefit from eating prunes,” said study author Mary Jane De Souza, PhD, FACSM, a distinguished professor at Penn State University.
