Elderly individuals with heart disease can usually eat plums, but should not consume too many. Plums are rich in vitamins and various trace elements; moderate consumption can help supplement the body with vitamins and other nutrients, and generally has little impact on the heart. However, excessive consumption may impair the spleen and stomach, leading to symptoms such as bloating, stomach pain, and diarrhea.
