But there is one caveat: this fruit must be eaten properly. Dr. Sergei Agapkin and nutritionist Mikhail Ginzburg explained how to lower blood pressure with folk remedies, using one tasty and popular fruit. They advised people with blood pressure problems to eat plums.
Eating plums regularly improves blood circulation and also helps to strengthen the walls of blood vessels. In addition, the moderate diuretic effect of plums helps the body get rid of excess fluid – and this also provokes a decrease in blood pressure.

When plums are harmful

Doctors advise drying plums, freezing them, or making them into pastille. In this case, it will be possible to preserve the beneficial properties of the plum as much as possible.
“The main thing is not to add sugar. Plums have everything to make them tasty,” the nutritionist emphasized.
