CompartilharSubscribe to NutritionFacts.org's free e newsletter and receive a recipe from Dr. Greger's brand new cookbook, The How Not to Diet Cookbook: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ DESCRIPTION: The average number of bowel movements a week is compared between those eating prunes, those taking a fiber supplement, and those eating a strictly plant based diet. Who can forget the Bristol stool scale? Even if you've already seen it you may want a refresher: Bristol Stool Scale (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bristol stool scale/). And while we're on the topic, here are some others on optimizing bowel function: · Kiwifruit for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/kiwifruit for irritable bowel syndrome/) · Bulking Up on Antioxidants (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bulking up on antioxidants/) · Relieving Yourself of Excess Estrogen (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/relieving yourself of excess estrogen/) · Stool Size Matters (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/stool size matters/) · Food Mass Transit (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food mass transit/) · Bowels of the Earth (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bowels of the earth/) · Greasy Orange Rectal Leakage (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/greasy orange rectal leakage/) · Diverticulosis & Nuts (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/diverticulosis nuts/) Prunes may also help improve the health of our skin—see Beauty Is More Than Skin Deep (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/beauty is more than skin deep/). In general we should try to get our nutrients from whole food, not supplements (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/some dietary supplements may be more than a waste of money/). See the previous video Dried Apples, Dates, Figs or Prunes for Cholesterol? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dried apples dates figs or prunes for cholesterol/) for a comparison of prunes to other dried fruit in terms of cholesterol lowering capacity. And if you're worried dried fruit may be too calorically dense, the next video Do Fruit & Nut Bars Cause Weight Gain? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/do fruit nut bars cause weight gain/) should help put your mind at ease. Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prunes vs metamucil vs vegan diet/ and he'll try to answer it!
