Plums without seed (prunes)

Prunes are a traditional fruit that is very popular all over the world. No wonder, in addition to having an excellent taste, they also contain many healthy substances and fiber. The fiber in prunes helps to lower blood cholesterol levels and their regular consumption is an effective prevention of colon cancer. Plums cleanse and have highly detoxifying effects. Due to their low content of proteins, fats and sodium, they are suitable for arteriosclerosis, high levels of uric acid, gout, degenerative joint diseases and liver disease. Thanks to pectin and a substance that speeds up bowel movements, prunes have a slightly laxative effect. However, unlike insoluble fiber in bran, soluble plum fiber soothes and protects the intestinal wall. Prunes are also a good source of potassium, which is essential for maintaining normal blood pressure and heart function.
