Health Benefits Of Plums

Plums neutralize the harmful effects of free radicals and protect against the development of health conditions like asthma, arthritis, heart stroke and cancer. The antioxidants found in this fruit protect the body from free radicals that speed up the aging process. Zeaxanthin, an important dietary carotenoid, selectively absorbs light into the retina where it provides antioxidant and protective UV light filtering functions. These antioxidants are particularly effective in neutralizing the destructive oxygen radical called superoxide anion radical and are known to prevent oxygen-based damage to fats, such as fats that comprise a substantial portion of the brain cells or neurons. The antioxidants in this fruit also improve the memory by neutralizing the cell-damaging radicals.

Skin Benefits Of Plum

Eating highly pigmented fruits is believed to make you more attractive, thus eating plums can make you look more attractive 

The vitamin E and beta-carotene, an antioxidant in plums, protect the fatty acids and the cell membranes from the attack of the free radicals, which allows the body to fight the signs of aging skin such as loss of elasticity and wrinkles (19). The plum contains a high amount of antioxidants and high anti-inflammatory properties, which increase the circulation and cell metabolism, reducing inflammation. This, in turn, promotes the elasticity of the skin and keeps acne and wrinkles at bay.

Plum Benefits For Hair

Plum can help to maintain the hair follicles, connective tissue or collagen of the scalp and protects the cells both in the follicles and in the blood vessels of the scalp, thus promoting hair growth.

Free radicals often make our hair weak, brittle and thin. These conditions often hinder proper hair growth. Vitamin E in the plum strengthens the cell membranes and prevents free radicals from attacking the follicles of the scalp. Thus, people who eat plums and prunes regularly have healthy, strong and thick hair.

Preparation And Storage

Plums are available throughout the year, mainly between May to September. Look for plums that are rich in color and have a slight whitish bloom which indicates that they have not been over handled. Avoid buying those that are overtly soft, or with cuts and dents. Plums that are slightly unripe can be kept at the room temperature for a day or two, until they ripen completely. The ripe ones should be immediately placed in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for a long time. Dry plums, which are called prunes, can be kept at room temperature for a few days. Plums should be washed thoroughly with tap water before eating. They can be safely eaten with the skin. These fruits are majorly used in the preparation of jams, pies, desserts and jellies. They can also be used in a variety of recipes, either baked or poached. Prunes are also added to muffins, cakes, and ice creams. It is possible to freeze a plum by blanching, removing the skin, coating the slices in lemon juice, and then combining the slices in a bowl of fruit juice syrup.
