Plum contains carbohydrate, protein, dietary fiber, beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, fluoride, vitamin A, vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), vitamin B9 (folate), vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, calcium, iron, manganese, and zinc.Plum has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Plum fruit taste ranges from sweet to tart.Dried plums are called prunes.They are sweet and juicy.Prunes do not cause a major rise in blood glucose and insulin after meal.Prunes contain several antioxidants.Plum and prune have laxative effect.This effect is attributed to various compounds present in the fruits, such as dietary fiber, sorbitol and isatin.They are used to regulate the functioning of the digestive system.Plum seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides, including amygdalin.Plums have both soluble and insoluble fiber.Plum extracts aid in the reduction of blood glucose and triglyceride levels in the body.Plums have a low glycemic index.

STUDY
A 2006 Study published in the Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism states that Vitamin C in plum contributes to maintain the redox integrity of cells and thereby protects them against reactive oxygen species generated during the respiratory burst and in the inflammatory response.
A Promising 2014 Study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that the dieatary intake of vitamin K in plum was associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular, cancer or all-cause mortality in a Mediterranean population at high cardiovascular disease risk .
The University of Maryland Medical Center recommends that babies who eat solid foods should consume plums and other high-fiber food twice a day in order to treat constipation.
A 2009 Study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food suggests that plums are rich in natural antioxidants and protect granulocytes from oxidative stress.

A 2013 Paper published in Critical Reviews in Food and Science Nutrition suggests that snacking on dried plums may increase satiety, reduce the subsequent intake of food, control obesity and diabetes and help cardiovascular disease.
Researchers conclude that incorporating oriental plums into a high-cholesterol diet can improve some symptoms of neurodegenerative conditions (neurons in the brain).
A 2007 Study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition evaluated over 4.000 women in ages 40 -74 and found that higher vitamin C intakes in plum lowered the likelihood of a wrinkled appearence, dryness of the skin and helped to slow aging naturally.

I had absolutely no symptoms or warnings that I had cancer. In March 2007 I suddenly felt like I had diarrhea but it was all blood and I went to the ER. I bled profusely through the rectum for an hour or so until they got it stopped. The doctor did a colonoscopy and found a stage II cancer, i was devastated when my doctor broke the sad news to me because i thought that was the end for me because i have heard so much news about how cancer have stolen away the lives of patients. With time i developed a 'belly' when all my life my abdomen was flat. I was still in my search for a cure after undergoing chemo and radiation thrice Until a friend of mine directed me to doctor Amber and advised me to try alternative medicine, which i did because then my doctor was no longer helpful at all and i had given up on myself. I got the herbal medicine which was relatively small in size, which i took for 10 weeks. For the past two and half years, I have had two additional colonoscopies and two CT scans, plus blood tests. So far, no recurrence, i am indeed really grafeful to GOD and Dr.Amber who stood by me and made all this happen through his medicine. Never give up hope and if you find yourself in the situation i was some years ago you can also contact him too via his personal email drambermurray@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteAs a sign of gratitude for how my wife was saved from CANCER, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
ReplyDeleteMy wife suffered cancer in the year 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because she was my all and the symptoms were terrible, she always complain of abnormal vaginal bleeding, and she always have pain during sexual intercourse. . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure her. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to cancer . I never imagined cancer. has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my wife will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my wife used it and in one months time she was fully okay even up till this moment she is so full of life. cancer. has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication.
