Are plums cooling or heating in nature?

Generally speaking, plums are neither cooling nor heating fruits; they are neutral fruits. The specific analysis is as follows:

Cooling fruits refer to foods that possess pharmacological functions such as clearing heat, relieving fire symptoms, and detoxification. Heating fruits refer to foods with high caloric content. Plums, commonly consumed in daily life, are suitable for most people and generally do not cause adverse reactions in the body. Therefore, plums are considered neutral in nature and have functions including nourishing yin and producing body fluids, protecting the liver, improving liver function, moistening the intestines, and relieving constipation.

Plums contain vitamin C, vitamin A, B-complex vitamins, minerals such as calcium, iron, and potassium, as well as dietary fiber, all of which help maintain normal body functions. At the same time, the dietary fiber in plums can promote intestinal motility, aid digestion, and help prevent constipation.

In daily life, it is recommended to consume plums in moderation according to one's own health condition and physical characteristics, to avoid adverse symptoms caused by excessive consumption. If you have specific health issues, it is advisable to adjust your diet structure under the guidance of a qualified physician.
