Maintaining the health of bones and muscles requires a wide combination of healthy habits, among which are fundamentally physical activity and a balanced diet.
Therefore, it is advisable to have a diet in which there are always healthy foods such as vegetables and fruits. As for the latter, the consumption of lulo is highly recommended, since it is a fruit that provides different nutrients that strengthen the bones and allows them to respond satisfactorily despite the passing of the years.
For this reason, frequent consumption of fruits such as plums will help to considerably reduce the risk of suffering from osteoporosis, since it has an important source of vitamin K, which also improves the intestinal tract. It is advisable to eat plums (they can be raisins too) at least between five to six units a day for a period of six months.
The prune is the dehydrated form of this fruit, which has several nutrients necessary for the proper functioning of the body. Specifically, it is an excellent ally to regulate the functioning of the intestine and help relieve constipation, since it is rich in fibers. In addition, it helps reduce appetite, improves blood circulation, and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, according to the specialized health portal, Tua Saúde.
The Cerezadeljerte portal points out that, like the apple, the raisin is a fruit rich in pectin, which is why it helps to reduce cholesterol. Red plums contain more anthocyanins, which are flavonoids that help against this type of fat. In addition, the plum is laxative, cleansing and diuretic.
However, this dried or dehydrated fruit is also rich in minerals such as calcium, iron and potassium, which are necessary for the body, especially after 50 years of age, since after this time, bones and muscles become weak.
On the other hand, the magazine Food&Function echoed a study by the Royal Society of Chemistry in the United Kingdom that shows how the consumption of plums in postmenopausal women “can improve the intestinal fecal microbiota in them.”
What the research called fecal microbiota is nothing more than the number of microorganisms in fecal matter, which, in turn, account for the state of the intestine.
Other prune benefits for women in their 50s:
For osteoporosis and muscle mass
According to the United States National Library of Medicine, prunes help to increase muscle mass, information supported by some studies. An investigation carried out by the Oklahoma State University showed that it helps in the production of IGF-1, essential in the growth of tissues and bones in the body.
Prunes also serve to lose weight, as they generate a feeling of satiety, and help reduce sugar. Thanks to the sorbitol it contains, it can help the body absorb glucose more slowly. Meanwhile, due to the pectin, it helps to lower cholesterol.
Prunes, which some may leave aside, also provide vitamin C, a nutrient that benefits blood vessels, and vitamin K, a key component in coagulation.
Neutralize the acidity of the pH
Acidosis is a state in which the pH of the blood decreases, something quite negative, since it can significantly affect organs of the body. In addition, tumors, inflammatory diseases, arthritis, skin diseases or even cancer may appear more frequently.
