Unexpected benefits of persimmon surprised scientists

A recent study conducted by a group of scientists has revealed unexpected beneficial properties of persimmon that may change our understanding of this popular Eastern berry. Scientists have discovered that persimmon not only improves the cardiovascular system but also has antioxidant properties that help slow down the aging process.

Studies have shown that persimmon contains a unique set of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, and carotenoids, which have a positive effect on skin health, maintaining its elasticity and preventing wrinkle formation. Particularly interesting is the fact that persimmon helps improve gut microflora, which can affect the overall level of immunity.

"We did not expect persimmon to be so beneficial for human health, especially in the context of its effect on intestinal flora. This discovery may lead to new methods of treating a number of diseases related to the digestive system," noted one of the study's authors.

Scientists emphasize that persimmon can become an important component in the prevention of diseases such as atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, and even some types of cancer. Experts encourage including persimmon in the diet to improve health and strengthen the immune system.
