Plum, commonly known as Aloo Bukhara is a wondeful juicy fruit that belongs botanically to the family of Rosaceae. It is one of the few fruits that come in a panorama of colors. The plum fruits differ in color and size according to the region of origin. The plant bears the plum fruits mostly during the months between May and September.
1. Aging
The vitamin E and beta-carotene, an antioxidant in plums, protect the fatty acids and the cell membranes from the attack of the free radicals, which allows the body to fight the signs of aging skin such as loss of elasticity and wrinkles.
2. Rejuvenate
Drinking plum juice can also help to even out the skin tone and firm the skin by improving the skin health and rejuvenating its appearance. Collagen deficiency often makes the skin dull and lifeless. The plum contains a high amount of vitamin C that is required for the production of hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, which are needed to bind the molecules that produce collagen.
3. Scars
Plums can also reduce the appearance of scar tissue by increasing the blood flow to the scar tissue, minimizing the look of the scar and blending in the development of new skin.
4. Healing
Plums also help to replace damaged tissue and help to heal the wounds at a faster pace. They improve the skin elasticity and create scar tissue and ligaments for a quick recovery.
5. Antioxidants
Plums have high amounts of antioxidants that provide an effective shield against the sunrays and reduces the sun damage. Sun damage can make the skin rough and wrinkly, but plums encourage the growth of new cells and make the skin younger.
