Plum Protection
The word 'plum' can be used as a noun to name the fruit or as an adjective to mean "something of a desirable or favorable kind." Thus, the term 'plum protection' is perfect to use in reference to this fruit. Plums, as well as berries, apples, oranges, and grapefruit, are believed to offer protection to the colon.
Plums offer all kinds of protection to the body. Since plums are rich in antioxidants, they defend against superoxide anion radical and prevent damage to our neurons and fats forming part of our cell membranes. Plums are also believed to be anti-cancer agents.
This fruit is full of vitamin C which protects the body from all types of conditions including colon cancer, asthma, and osteoarthritis. Plums help in the production and absorption of iron in the body. This leads to better blood circulation and the growth of healthy tissues.
A regular diet of plums is also supposed to reduce the chance of heart disease over time. Plums have cleaning agents which purify blood and prevent complications of the heart. As well, researchers think eating plums regularly will prevent macular degeneration and other eye infections in the long term. Apparently, plums contribute to sharp eyesight.
Plums are rich in dietary fiber that can improve the digestive system. Of course, patients differ in their reactions to foods and some may handle certain fruits better than others. Indeed, some Crohn's Disease and Colitis sufferers may find that it is difficult to digest all 'summer fruits' (peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums, and a few varieties of pears and apples).
All those fruits are somewhat acidic and fall between three and four on the pH scale. Yet plums are high in special phytonutrients called neochlorogenic and chlorogenic acid. Try plum juice concentrate for preventing and reducing human influenza A.
The best course of action for Crohn's Disease and Colitis sufferers is to keep track of your diet. Individuals must keep a food diary and record of foods that they can tolerate as well as ones that cause problems for them. With that information on hand, it will be easier to make the right choices for you.
