Slow life/ food for medicine" Dried Plum, ume boshi"

The saltiness (positive) and sourness (negative) in dried plums has the effect of invigorating one’s mood, refreshing one’s body, and, among other miraculous benefits, sharpening one’s reflexes almost like a child’s. In particular, the citric, succinic and malic acids, among other organic acids, work to combust the fatiguing substance of lactic acid and in turn stimulate the metabolism, which allows waste products to leave the body. Through better calcium absorption and neutralized blood oxidation, dried plum also has the excellent effect of relieving fatigue. In addition, the saltiness and sourness in combination, through helping the functioning of stomach acids, can improve a loss of appetite and also aid in digestion. At the same time, the acidity of the plum, containing strong germicidal properties and animal proteins, also counteracts toxins that cause decay. Not only is it good for one’s figure, but simply eating a dried plum every morning can bring beautiful skin an extra sense of clarity as well.
