Rich In Antioxidants
Plum juice is rich in antioxidants, which are believed to help protect body cells from oxidative damage and may reduce the chances of chronic diseases. Antioxidants are found in many fruits and vegetables, including plums.
The health benefits of it have been known for centuries, and modern science is beginning to confirm what traditional medicine has long suspected – that this delicious fruit juice can have a positive impact on our health.
Reduces cholesterol levels
Plum juice contains a natural substance called pterostilbene which has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels. Pterostilbene works by inhibiting the production of LDL cholesterol in the liver.
In a study, some rats given plum juice had significantly lower LDL cholesterol levels than those that were not given the juice. The rats that were given juice also had higher levels of HDL cholesterol, which is the “good” kind of cholesterol.
These results suggest that drinking this juice may help to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease by lowering your LDL cholesterol levels and increasing your HDL cholesterol levels.
