Hey folks @cryptokraze here with my new Blog about Food and Health awareness in which I will highlight the health benefits associated with Plum. We should add variety of foods in our diet because they have bio-active components in them that help in preventing many diseases and provide other health benefits.
Health Benefits of Plums
Plums comprise of a range of phenolics and flavonoids that offer amazing health benefits like:
Antioxidant Properties
Plums have phytonutrients and vitamin C such as zeaxanthin, lutein, neochlorogenic acid and cryptoxanthin. These ingredients have powerful antioxidant characteristics and aids in preventing injury from oxygen-free radicals called superoxide anion radicals.
Treat Obesity
Plum extracts are valuable for treating obesity and some other such conditions. Studies have proven that due to the presence of biologically active components, the ingestion of plums helps to fight the metabolic disorder.
Control Diabetes
Plums help fight diabetes by playing an anti-hyperglycemic role. Research has proven that drinking of plum extracts helps decrease triglycerides and blood sugar points in the body. The flavonoids present in plum has a defensive effect on insulin fighting.
Prevent Osteoporosis
The ingestion of dried plums has anti-absorption and anabolic actions that help keep strong bones. Flavonoids, such as caffeic acid and rutin, can help to inhibit bone deprivation and prevent illnesses such as osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
Improve Cognition
Research has proven that the existence of flavonoids in plum juice can efficiently prevent age-related cognitive damage. The valuable phytonutrients found in plums help diminish inflammation in the nerve zone, improving memory and learning functions.
Eliminate Anxiety
Eating plums frequently help reduce nervousness. The research provides proof for the antioxidant and anxiolytic characteristics of chlorogenic acid present in plums, which aids in treating anxiety-related actions and injuries related to oxidation.

I love plums. They taste so good when we make a smoothie.
