Treats anemia
Anemia is a blood disorder characterized by a lack of healthy red blood cells. RBCs are responsible for carrying oxygen to the body’s tissues. Without enough red blood cells, the body’s tissues do not get the oxygen and other nutrients they need to function properly. Anemia can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, and a variety of other symptoms.
Plum juice is a natural remedy for anemia. The high levels of iron in it help to increase the production of red blood cells. Drinking it on a daily basis can help to alleviate the symptoms of anemia and improve overall health.
