The Tua Saúde web portal points out the importance of consuming some fruits to increase the body’s defenses and thus combat these conditions. One of them is dried plums, a dried fruit that provides various benefits for lung health thanks to its polyphenol content, which fights free radicals that can cause damage, mainly in smokers.
These polyphenols also help reduce the risk of pulmonary emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung cancer.
Finally, another of the great benefits offered by this superfood is that it contributes to the detoxification of the body because it has pectin, a type of fiber that helps remove toxic heavy metals, such as lead or mercury, from the body.
