The plum, scientists say, has much more valuable properties than previously thought. It not only cleanses the body of toxins and toxins, enhances intestinal motility, lowers the level of “bad” cholesterol. But besides this, it also rejuvenates the body due to the presence of antioxidants in the composition of the plum.
Doctors learned about this property of the plum after studying its composition. They noted that unsweetened varieties of the product work best on the digestive tract. And zinc, iodine, beta-carotene, iron, calcium, magnesium and vitamins A, B, C, E, PP are present in all varieties without exception. In addition, pectin and antioxidants are found in the plum. This means that the inclusion of plums in the diet is not only cleansing the body of toxins and lowering the level of salts of heavy metals, but also a direct way to get rid of free radicals, reduce the risk of cancer and slow down aging.
But even this is not the whole list of properties that nature has endowed with the plum. Due to its ability to free the body from excess fluid, plum juice has the ability to lower blood pressure and remove swelling from the body and face. In addition, it serves as an excellent prevention of atherosclerosis, since it lowers the level of “bad” cholesterol in the blood. And only those who have diabetes or rheumatism should not include the product in the menu, since the sugar content in the fruit is too high.
